The ‘Palm oil conga’ written by Ashley Fayth is a catchy song to help students understand how palm oil affects wildlife in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra.  

 

By joining the Sustainable Palm Oil Challenge, students learn about palm oil production's devastating effects on endangered species like orangutans and tigers, while also discovering ways they can make a difference. With this song, you can get the whole class involved in a memorable learning experience, combining music with environmental education. 

 

This resource is ideal for primary school students, bringing a serious global issue into the classroom through music and movement. The interactive nature of the video encourages participation, making it easier for younger learners to grasp complex conservation topics. It supports teaching about sustainability and responsible consumerism, emphasising the importance of choosing sustainable palm oil products to protect vital ecosystems.
