Graphic Ideas
I figured it out!

1. Create a graphic showing the range area for different species of megafauna (ex. Sumatran tiger, rhino), and indicate the amount of core habitat needed for survival. Compare this to the amount of rain forest area in countries where palm oil plantations are present as well as to the area of these countries that is taken up by oil palm plantations.

2. Somehow show the economic impact of oil palm plantations for residents of these countries. Potentially show cost-benefit analysis for plantations that use more sustainable practices versus plantations that have a tendency to harm the environment.

3. Show the amount of fragmentation of rain forest habitat in these countries and indicate how much of that fragmentation occurs as a result of clearing for oil palm plantations.
