How we rescued the "dancing" bears: Kartick Satyanarayan on TED.com

Kartick Satyanarayan has been able to put an end to this centuries-old practice, and in so doing discovered a lesson of wider significance: make the practitioners part of the solution.(Recorded at TEDIndia, November 2009, Mysore, India. Duration: 4:02)
