Foreword by Dr Jane Goodall
From the embattled forests of Clayoquot Sound to the helm of a global tech empire, Dax Dasilva has always harbored a heart fiercely attuned to nature’s calls. In Echoes from Eden, he chronicles the transformative juncture of his life during a global pandemic—a time when the natural world faced unprecedented threats due to halted conservation efforts. Dasilva’s journey takes readers to the world’s vanishing frontiers, where he joins forces with legendary conservationists like Dr. Jane Goodall in the Amazon, Dr. Russ Mittermeier in Madagascar, and Dr. Kerry Bowman in the Congo. Each page of Echoes from Eden is a testament to the tenacity of those battling to safeguard our planet’s precious biodiversity. But this is more than a memoir—it is a mobilization. Dasilva’s narrative, rich with the spirit of adventure and selfless dedication, is a rallying cry for environmental stewardship and a beacon of hope for the eco-conscious future. Echoes from Eden is not just a story of one man’s commitment; it’s an invitation to join a movement essential to our survival—a journey as inspiring as it is critical for our time.
Age of Union is a compelling guide for igniting today's changemaker. Grounded in four pillars—leadership, culture, spirituality, and nature—the book advocates that the time for change is now and that our choices are the catalyst. Dax Dasilva shares his experience and present observations to ignite a movement of unseparation, a united front across all people, cultures, and living things. Here, he presents his model for the new changemaker, for the leader in all of us, to find purpose in collectively contributing to a better tomorrow, and give rise to an age of union.
