Forest cover most of the planet’s landmass, but humans are cutting them down,

clearing these essential habitats on a massive scale. In Malaysia and Indonesia, forests are cut
down to make way for producing palm oil, which can be found in everything from shampoo
to saltines. In Indonesia, the oil palm plantation is the main plantation so it takes from 4000
to 20 000 hectares. These plantations usually result in clearing of former vegetation which
leads the mammal lost his habitat. It’s proven through research that natural flora and fauna is
impoverished at oil palm plantation compared to lowland rainforests. Only four mammal
species were detected in the oil palm which is deer, macaques and pangolins has a high
conservation value and generally prefer non-oil palm habitats even heavily degraded natural
habitat. All the species accept for pigs showed limited tolerance. Whereby, in Malaysia about
20 from 75 mammal species can survive in oil palm plantation and the rest 55 mammals
impoverished at oil palm plantations. Indonesia have higher tendency to lose mammals
compared to Malaysia. Further, Consequently, the consideration of the effects of oil palm
biodiversity on all plants is desirable.
An endangered species is a species which has been categorized as very likely to
become extinct. Mammals faced endangered due to oil palm expansion, captured and killed
in the process of new plantation. Endangered species, such as orang-utans, Sumatran
elephants and Sumatran tigers are primarily threatened by palm oil development and are often
captured or killed when plants are cleared to make new fields. Elephants are considered to be
at risk for palm oil plantations as it often destroys farms and feeds on oil-rich palm oil nuts.
Orang-utans have also been known to be violent around the oil palm plantations when their
food sources are threatened and they are often destroyed. Tigers will also be killed if
considered a threat to field workers. All these species are exposed to illegal wildlife poachers
when open forest areas are set up to establish oil palm estates
 1. Do deforestation in Malaysia and Indonesia gives impact to the mammals ?
Yes . It’s proven through research that natural flora and fauna is impoverished at oil palm
plantation compared to lowland rainforests. Only four mammal species were detected in the
oil palm which is deer, macaques and pangolins has a high conservation value and generally
prefer non-oil palm habitats even heavily degraded natural habitat. All the species accept for
pigs showed limited tolerance. Whereby, in Malaysia about 20 from 75 mammal species can
survive in oil palm plantation and the rest 55 mammals impoverished at oil palm plantations.
Indonesia have higher tendency to lose mammals compared to Malaysia.
2. Will this lead to the extinction of the mammals ?
