TED 2009 - Willie Smits

My background is technically electical engineering, I always liked to think of it more like systems engineering. It's all about how things interact and how the overall system works. This talk from Willie Smits about restoring a rainforest is one of the best examples I can think of for overall systems engineering. How do the different forces that would naturally be competing work together to form a system that benefits all. It's goddamn amazing.
