Redesigning Oil Palm Farms PRE- Assessment

Instructions

We are going to use a computer simulation to help us answer the question: How can we redesign the way land is used in Indonesia to support orangutans and people at the same time?

A) Go to this website.

The layout design is based on Padu Banjar. On your handout, try to identify the same important features that you identified in the satellite image of Padu Banjar.

B) Flip your page over and label the key features.

Write out the things you notice about the simulator OR write it on the picture attached

Problem: Oil palm is a plant that provides a key ingredient for foods and cosmetics. Oil palm uses less land to grow compared to other crops, but it grows in the same places as tropical rainforests. Oil palm is a cash crop that provides farmers in Indonesia with a steady income to support their families. When farmers clear land to plant oil palm, they sometimes cut down tropical rainforests. This is related to decreases in orangutan and tiger populations.

What are the criteria for our better farm?

Criteria:
Standards that must be met by the design of the land. (How will we know our designs work?)

What are the criteria for our better farm?

Constraints:
Limitations to what can be designed. (What can we do or not do in our designs?)

Create a group of THREE students.

Each member of the group will get one of these roles
Large-scale oil palm company
Small scale oil palm farmer
Village elder
