馬來西亞計劃向中國、印度和歐盟等主要棕櫚油進口國贈送紅毛猩猩作禮物，證明他們致力保護生物多樣性。紅毛猩猩屬極危物種，主要是因伐木及農業擴張如棕櫚油種植園等而失去棲息地。保育團體對該計劃感到擔憂，並認為應該加強保護猩猩的自然棲息地，而非把牠們送走。
Malaysia is planning to give orangutans as gifts to major palm oil importers like China, India and the European Union to prove that Malaysia is committed to biodiversity conservation. Orangutans are critically endangered mainly because of logging and agricultural expansion such as palm oil plantation. Conservation groups are concerned about the plan and think the focus should be protecting the natural habitat of orangutans instead of giving them away.
