THE PROBLEM WITH PALM OIL
Muse Science Magazine for Kids
|April 2024
Palm oil is all around you. It’s in sugary snacks like cookies and candy bars. It’s in lipstick and shampoo and pet food.
This cheap and versatile vegetable oil is everywhere. But in order to meet the worldwide demand for palm oil, large companies create palm oil plantations. They clear away large tracts of diverse jungle and replace it with endless acres of oil palm trees. This creates monocultures, where rich biodiverse habitats are replaced by a single species. Palm oil plantations may look like large, green open space, but they are biodiversity deserts.

Scientists Create Mice With Woolly Mammoth-Like Fur
RESEARCHERS AT A COMPANY IN TEXAS ARE WORKING TO CREATE A LIVING ANIMAL THAT RESEMBLES THE EXTINCT WOOLLY MAMMOTH. Recently, they produced mice with traits of the large mammal. The mice all have coats with mammoth-like fur, and some of the small mammals also have genes that help them store fat. Both features would help the animals survive in the cold Arctic, where the woolly mammoth once lived.
