Technology, Entertainment, Design started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes). 
One of the talks which impressed me the most is the talk by Willie Smits, “.Restoring the rainforest”.
Borneo is one of the saddest stories on earth how we humans destroy our environment, and the orangutans who live there.
Smits believes that to rebuild orangutan populations, we must first rebuild their forest habitat — which means helping local people find options other than the short-term fix of harvesting forests to survive.
So he started to do so in the middle of one of the most devastated areas in Borneo, and succeeded to recreate the rainforest. See his talk, it strengthens your hope. Yes it can be done………
