To help you find out as much as possible about palm oil in our new learning activity, one of your literacy tasks this week is to watch the BtN segment below and think critically about the questions it raises. The questions posed can be answered in your books this week as you have other tasks to complete on the computer:)
Here are the questions that you need to think about and answer in your books:
1) What have you learned about palm oil and its impact on orang-utans as a result of watching this story?
2) How many types of orang-utans are there in the world? Name them.
3) Where do orang-utans live?
4) Describe the orang-utans' natural environment.
5) Why have orang-utans become an endangered species?
6) Why does Tahlia want palm oil production stopped?
7) How are the palm oil plantations important to the economy of Indonesia and Malaysia?
8) Some people have started sustainable palm oil plantations. What does this mean?
9) How many orphan orang-utans has Tahlia adopted? What are their names?
