"Echoes from Eden recounts Dax Dasilva’s journey supporting conservation efforts in the places that need it most. This book is a testament to the power of direct action, a blueprint for environmental conservation, and, as well, a deeply personal exploration of spirituality and Earth stewardship." — Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE
All proceeds from this book will be donated to the Jane Goodall Legacy Fund
From the frontline protests of Clayoquot Sound to the helm of a global tech empire, Dax Dasilva’s path has always straddled two worlds—innovation and conservation. Echoes from Eden is not just the story of a man who walked away from business as usual; it is a call to arms for the wild.
As the world reeled from the pandemic and conservation efforts collapsed, rangers were sent home, funding dried up, and poachers and loggers swept in like vultures. Instead of retreating, Dasilva launched the Age of Union Alliance, committing $40 million to safeguard the planet’s last wild places. What followed was a journey into the heart of the Earth’s most endangered landscapes—tracking Grauer’s gorillas in the Congo with Dr. Kerry Bowman, navigating Amazonian rivers with Paul Rosolie and Junglekeepers, braving militia-held territories in Haiti to protect community forests, and sailing with Sea Shepherd to shut down illegal fishing operations in the Bay of Biscay.
Along the way, he met those who risk everything to defend the land: Dr. Jane Goodall and Juma Xipaya in the Amazon, Suzan Baptiste protecting the leatherback turtles of Trinidad, Dr. Russell Mittermeier conserving the endangered lemurs of Madagascar, and the fearless eco-warriors fighting in Indonesia, Canada, and beyond.
But Echoes from Eden is more than an expedition log—it is a reckoning. Told with an urgency sharpened by experience, it asks us to see the world as it is: beautiful, brutal, and slipping through our fingers. This isn’t a plea for awareness—it’s a battle cry.
