Change in Your Palm: The Borneo Rainforest
b'Biologist Birute Mary Galdikas discusses the connection between Indonesian rainforests and climate change. \\nIn conversation with Greg Dalton, Commonwealth Club Vice President, founder of Climate One\\n\\n\\nDeforestation in Indonesia, driven largely by large palm oil plantations, has caused that country to become the \\nthird largest emitter of greenhouses gases in the world. Galdikas, who studied under anthropologist Louis Leakey, has \\nbeen studying orangutans in Borneo for nearly 40 years. She urges people to be aware of the impact palm oil, and biofuels, \\nare having on one of the world\\u2019s largest carbon sinks. \\n\\n\\nThis program was recorded at The Commonwealth Club on April 27, 2009\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
