"Forestry means far more than growing timber. A forest encapsulates biodiversity, clean water and fresh air. And humanity." One of the challengers of conventional forestry is Mikael Karlsson, who has taken a new sustainable method to Sweden. Instead of clear cutting he advocates to gently harvest the high quality trees while maintaining the eco system intact. "A forest is at the same time the machine and the product. So be careful not to break the machine -- because only big machines produce big trees."

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)
