According to the text, what is the main global problem connected with producing palm oil on such a massive scale?
Write ONE word.

A global average of 8kg of palm oil is consumed by everyone in a year. To produce palm oil on such a massive scale, it is said that the equivalent of 300 football fields of rainforests is cleared every hour.
Palm oil is a major driver of deforestation of the world’s most bio-diverse forests. Palm oil production at an uncontrollable rate is wiping out the habitat of already endangered species such as Orangutan, pygmy elephants and Sumatran rhino.
The continued deforestation is also contributing millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere leading to climate change. Issues of child labour and exploitation of workers are also prevalent. These reasons are sufficient for us to reconsider our actions and step up to address this serious global issue.
