Never been to Java, I didn't know there was that little forest there. I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the population, but it looks pretty green via satellite...

IIRC palm oil became more popular as countries banned partially hydrogenated soybean oil, which was a major source of dietary trans fats, which contributes to cardiovascular disease, i.e. the #1 cause of death outside of Africa.
Not saying that doesn't mean one of the most biodiverse regions in the world has been getting logged super heavily.
