The harvest of the palm trees for the production of palm oil affects the ecosystem as it affects the environment. This investigation will highlight the advantages of the palm fruit providing nutrients, it being essential for the producing products, and this production being able to reduce poverty. The negatives of how the production of palm oil negatively affects the environment, the habitat of the animals, and social consequences such as the loss of income.
The issue of the production of palm oil in Indonesia is related to ecosystems, utilised to describe the community of organisms in a particular area with the habitat and physical factors of oxygen, carbon dioxide and other conditions.

This is due to the pollution created from the emissions which are caused, and also the clearing of land. The environment is affected by the production with the issue of deforestation, as GreenPalm suggests the harvesting has been linked with the destruction of rain forests with the development of palm plantations, coupled expanding farms to reach the rising demands for palm oil. The Guardian suggests deforestation costs around $2-5tn dollars a year and around 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions are created. Also, Orangutan Project states the areas where palm trees are cut are equal to 300 soccer fields being destroyed each hour, indicating how large areas of rainforest are disappearing. This information indicates how the production of palm oil effects the
