Palm oil is in nearly every commodity you use — food, shampoo, makeup and more — but harvesting this essential material has contributed to the destruction of millions of hectares of forests globally. Sustainability leader Andika Putraditama shares how a groundbreaking collaboration between conservationists and global brands is turning this crisis on its head, unlocking a new model for forest preservation. Discover a vision for preserving the forests still standing and restoring the ones we’ve lost. (Recorded at TED Countdown: Overcoming Dilemmas in the Green Transition on October 30, 2024)

It’s incredible to see collaboration turn a crisis into a solution! Even in the middle of a global crisis, collaboration can turn destruction into regeneration 🙌

Willie Smits is the only solution for Indonesia’s Eco what i truly see. Others, including me – we simply still have “the ideas”. So the most efficient is to find a way to support his projects or better join them

This is such an important reminder 🌍 — fighting climate change isn’t just about cutting emissions from factories or cars.
