TED: How to restore a rainforest | Willie Smits

The video discusses the challenges of orangutan rescue and the impact of deforestation, particularly due to palm oil production. It highlights the creation of a sustainable reforestation model in East Borneo, involving local communities to restore biodiversity and provide economic benefits. The project successfully reduced unemployment, increased biodiversity, and improved climate conditions. The approach integrates agriculture with forestry, ensuring local involvement and legal protection, and uses technology for monitoring progress.
