“…Although individuals and organizations have the right to defend their science, products, and actions, disingenuous defense often serves to obfuscate the issues, sway public opinion, and delay regulations that might be necessary to protect environmental health. Misleading the public to believe that an organization's products or actions are environmentally safe has been referred to as “greenwashing” (Koh et al 2010). Greenwashing seems to have facilitated tropical forest conversion to oil palm plantations in South East Asia (Koh & Wilcove 2009) that has reduced biodiversity and ecosystem services (Sodhi et al 2004; Brook et al 2006).…”

“…Greenwashing seems to have facilitated tropical forest conversion to oil palm plantations in South East Asia (Koh & Wilcove 2009) that has reduced biodiversity and ecosystem services (Sodhi et al 2004; Brook et al 2006). Alternatively, “blackwashing” occurs when environmental groups mislead the public by suggesting that a corporation's actions will result in extreme environmental degradation (Koh et al 2010). Blackwashing or sensationalizing environmental issues can diminish trust in environmental groups and conservation scientists and undermine public support for conservation (Bradshaw et al 2007; Koh et al 2010).…”

“…Thus, the conversion of a single hectare of forested land to oil palm represents a far greater loss of biodiversity than logging of that same hectare. (FAO 2009) Despite the aggressive efforts of environmentalists to make people aware of its environmental damage (FoE 2005;CSPI 2006;Greenpeace 2007;Koh et al 2010), oil palm continues to expand across the tropics. Why hasn't the environmental movement been successful thus far in slowing the conversion of tropical forests to oil palm?…”

“…Borneo is widely known for its great floral and faunal diversity, but many areas of the island require further exploration (Clements et al 2010;Ismail & Din et al1996-2001Hall et al 2002;Karim et al 2004;Koh et al 2010;MacKinnon et al 1996;Mohd et al 2003;Garbutt & Prudent 2007;Wong & Chan 1997 and references within these contributions). Diversity is especially high given the size of the island.…”
