Oil palm cultivation in the Americas: review of the social, economic and environmental conditions of its expansion

Colombine Lesage et al.

Summary: In the Americas, the palm oil sector has been gaining importance in the last 20 years, despite accounting for only 7.1% of the global production, it is one of the largest suitable areas for oil palm cultivation. New models like contract farming and growers' organizations have emerged in response to the call for better inclusion of growers in the value chain, local development, and sustainable production, now representing almost 30% of production in the region.

Importance of Small Forest Fragments in Agricultural Landscapes for Maintaining Orangutan Metapopulations

Marc Ancrenaz et al.

Summary: The study found that orangutans are still present in small isolated forest fragments within agricultural landscapes like oil palm plantations, playing a crucial role in maintaining gene flow within the metapopulation. While translocations may be necessary in some cases, removing animals from dispersed metapopulations could impact their long-term viability. Efforts are needed to better understand the dynamics of orangutan metapopulations in forest-farmland mosaics and design efficient conservation strategies to protect the species.
