The World’s First “Nature Superpower”s | Ilona Szabó de Carvalho | TED

Published

1 year ago

September 22, 2025

Over the last 40 years, Brazil has lost an area larger than California to deforestation — and 90 percent of the clear-cutting has been illegal, all part of a multi-billion-dollar global environmental crime economy. Civic entrepreneur Ilona Szabó de Carvalho sees this crisis as an opportunity. Revealing how Brazil is pioneering an economic model actually profiting from protecting nature, she shares the ambitious restoration goals and innovations in forest mapping that are turning the country into a “nature superpower.” Get a glimpse of what an economy rooted in regeneration, not extraction, could look like. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 16, 2025)

The idea that everything has to be done in the sense of profitability is whats wrong with human society today and why we have such an issue with protecting the earth in the first place.

  Not everything needs to be profitable but if you can make it, you will incentive more people to build companies, research, maintain it, work to more efficient without having to waste tax payer money.
  
  For example, if making food wasn’t profitable millions of people in cities or without skills to get their own food would starve.

  99% of Ted Talks are like these. People do it just to showcase themselves. Sucks.

: With much more sustainable cities we will be able to recover many degraded habitats in the interior of countries, not destroying biomes to protect borders would also help a lot…

Meet Wabi, the AI assistant with group chats, multiple threads, and an app-builder | Equity podcast

It seems like every big AI player is building a personal agent. Meta has Muse, OpenAI launched Dots, and a startup called Instinct recently raised $1 billion at a $10 billion valuation. But Eugenia Kuyda thinks the next generation of AI assistants needs to do more than book your restaurant reservations and find you hidden…

Kuyda, who founded AI companion app Replika, has just launched Wabi, a personal AI agent that organizes your life into separate conversations, brings other people into the mix, and builds custom apps around what you’re trying to do. The idea is to make AI less of a solo productivity tool and more of a way to spend time with the people who matter to you.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan talks with Kuyda about why she thinks AI agents should bring people together instead of keeping them glued to a single chatbot, how Wabi plans to compete in a crowded and expensive market, and what it takes to get people comfortable giving an AI access to their email.
