Willie Smits tells the inspiring story about how his organisation transformed an area of cleared land back to rainforest, sustaining both local communities and wild life, including orangutan. Willie Smits typifies a leader who is deeply moved by the tragedy caused by human activity, and how this motivation generates great vision and energy to do better. You can also watch this video at TED.
This video is especially inspiring as Willie Smits demonstrates how the climate is transformed when people take steps to re-establish forest cover.
