Lesson 17

How can we redesign the way land is used in Indonesia to support orangutans and people at the same time?

Lesson Objectives...

Refine criteria and constraints for designing a way to use the land to increase precision and to take into account the potential impacts and the ways in which potential solutions are limited by the natural environment.
Apply ideas about ways of growing food to design a better way to use the land to minimize human impact on orangutan populations.

Slide Presentation for Lesson 17...

This is the slide presentation used by your teachers when navigating through Lesson 17.

Design your Oil Palm Farm using the Padu Banjar Simulation.

Some potential design solutions work well for both people and orangutans but are not realistic due to land-use changes and time.
Using a variety of different ways to grow food can maintain or increase orangutan populations and people’s income.
People can reasonably set aside a portion of their land to support orangutan populations without reducing their income.
Neighboring farms can coordinate their approaches to increase space for orangutans.
Rainforest corridors connecting intact areas of forest increase orangutan populations.
