Wildlife‐friendly oil palm plantations fail to protect biodiversity effectively

Forest fragments did not increase bird abundances in adjacent oil palm, had lower species richness than contiguous forest, and had an avifaunal composition that was more similar to oil palm than to contiguous forest.

The Impacts of Oil Palm on Recent Deforestation and Biodiversity Loss

To guide interventions aimed at reducing tropical deforestation due to oil palm, recent expansions are analysed and likely future ones are modelled, and critical areas for biodiversity that oil palm expansion threatens are identified.

Effect of oil palm sustainability certification on deforestation and fire in Indonesia

It was found that certification significantly reduced deforestation, but not fire or peatland clearance, among participating plantations, and certification had no causal impact on forest loss in peatlands or active fire detection rates.

Oil palm expansion and deforestation in Southwest Cameroon associated with proliferation of informal mills

It is shown that in Southwest Cameroon, a top producing region of Africa, 67% of oil palm expansion from 2000–2015 occurred at the expense of forest, Contrary to the publicized narrative of industrial-scale expansion, most oil Palm expansion and associated deforestation is occurring outside large agro-industrial concessions.
