Forests in danger: Biofuel demand threatens forests

A boom in biofuels is posing a major threat to the region’s rainforests.

The production of palm oil biofuel in Malaysia is one of the main causes of rainforest destruction.

With demand for palm oil set to increase threefold by 2050, the rate of deforestation could be devastating.
