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. It’s about protecting the lungs of our planet — our forests, peatlands, and mangroves. These ecosystems store massive amounts of carbon, and every tree lost pushes us further from balance. Real change means responsible production, conscious consumption, and restoring what we’ve already destroyed. Nature doesn’t need us to save it — it needs us to stop destroying it.
