  • Are oil palm plantations sustainable?
  • Therefore, measuring the environmental impact of oil palm plantations and identifying suitable land to support its sustainable development is crucial. To meet the rising global palm oil demand sustainably, we tracked annual land cover changes in oil palm plantation and mapped areas worldwide suitable for sustainable oil palm cultivation.
  • What is a productive oil palm plantation?
  • Productive oil palm plantations comprise both industrial and smallholder plantations that have an age of at least three years. We have excluded roads, mill infrastructure and other land uses occurring in oil palm-dominated landscapes.
  • Is oil palm plantation expansion a trend?
  • Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative In recent decades, global oil palm production has shown an abrupt increase, with almost 90% produced in Southeast Asia alone. To understand trends in oil palm plantation expansion and for landscape-level planning, accurate maps are needed.
  • How many oil palm plantations are there in the world?
  • Now globally, 2.23 and 0.1 Mha of oil palm plantations are established over peatland and protected areas, respectively. We tracked the expansion of oil palm plantations into different land uses and found that a total of 3.6 Mha of forests were affected in recent decades between 1992 and 2019 (Table S2).
