The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, Sept. 1, edition that when Dax Dasilva, the founder of Lightspeed Commerce, stepped down in 2022 as chief executive officer, he immersed himself in conservation efforts globally. The Globe's Sean Silcoff writes that Mr. Dasilva visited the projects and people doing the work to protect fragile ecosystems against poaching, trawling, slash-and-burn and mining. He worked with conservation champions, including Jane Goodall and the Re:wild organization co-founded by Leonardo DiCaprio, and co-produced films about the projects, one of which, Wildcat, won an Emmy. He has now published a book about those efforts, Echoes from Eden, co-written with Eric Hendrikx. It is very different from his first book, 2019's Age of Union, a call to action for others to become "changemakers." Echoes from Eden is an immersive, gripping account about his travels to the Amazon, the Congo and Borneo, where he encounters snakes, vampire bats, tarantulas, botflies and piranhas, and wrestles caimans. Mr. Dasilva says the book focuses on protecting the Earth's last wild places and serves as a tool to highlight the importance of supporting grassroots projects that inspire hope and make a significant difference.
