Synopsis
Although we can't just stop using palm oil - farmers need to grow it to provide an income for their families and as a product it's highly efficient and useful - it is possible to farm it sustainably in a way that doesn't cause so much destruction. Steve travels to a sustainable plantation where there is space left for wildlife and finds a female reticulated python on her eggs.
