Ten years ago, Indonesia’s forests were being decimated due to a big spike in palm oil production…until two Girl Scouts decided to get involved. Anjali and Ryan uncover the story behind Indonesia's dramatic reduction in deforestation. From grassroots activism to corporate boardrooms, this episode explores the delicate balance of pressuring companies, influencing governments, and empowering local communities to protect our forests. Discover how a blend of smart policies and market forces can create lasting change, and learn why the fight against deforestation is a global game of whack-a-mole we can't afford to lose.For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/speed-and-scale-transcript" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/speed-and-scale-transcript</a>Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?
