This project incorporates my interest of illustration and factual info-graphics, I have combined these areas of design to highlight the palm oil industry and the negative effects that it is having within Indonesia. The global debate on the sustainability and legitimacy of palm oil production is one that continues to evolve and define the industry.
Palm oil is a global commodity that is extracted from the oil palm tree. These plantations can be found throughout
Southeast Asia.
The environmental impacts of mass palm oil plantations are extensive within Indonesia. Deforestation is the major issue that continues to negatively impact the industry. As a result of this industry, two critically endangered species, Orangutans and Sumatran tigers, which are only found in this region are facing extinction.
The aim of this project is to inform people about this is a growing problem, whilst also providing them with the relevant information on what they can do to help stop this problem from growing any further.
