Next year marks the centennial of the death of Martha, the last passenger pigeon on Earth. The extinction of her species--once the most abundant land bird on the planet--offers more than the usual lessons we draw from such losses. In fact, those usual lessons of "remember" and "never again" are failing us at a time of fast-moving environmental change. What was heresy 100 years ago may have saved the passenger pigeon. What are the heresies that may help us and the biosphere today?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
