Dax Dasilva, a Canadian entrepreneur and founder of environmental nonproft Age of Union, will be at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena to discuss his book Echoes from Eden: A Daring Voyage to Protect Earth's Last Wild Places.

Dax Dasilva launched the Age of Union Alliance to stop poaching and illegal logging, 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.
