Your opinion
I think that BOS has been doing a great job in protecting the endangered species of Orangutans in Borneo. I hope that they are able to continue their work for many years to come.

Does anyone oppose their goals?
Yes, there are people who support poaching a deforestation who would not want to see the palm oil industry collapse There are also people who make a living off of killing Orangutans and I cannot imagine that they would want to have their job become illegal, which is what is likely to happen if organisations like BOS continue work.



I think you could have made the 'Your opinion' a sentence or two longer, but the rest is good length and in detail. 1370478249
