Peru Passes ‘Momentous’ Ban on Palm Oil Deforestation
Peru has committed to ending palm oil-driven deforestation by 2021. The National Wildlife Federation named the move a “momentous win” for wildlife and sustainable agriculture. If Peru carries out its commitment, it will be the second South American country after Colombia to pledge to produce palm oil without deforestation.
