About this listen

What does it mean to restore our relationship with the Earth — not just protect it, but belong to it again?

In this episode, Anne sits down with Dax Dasilva, entrepreneur, environmentalist, and author of Echoes from Eden, for a powerful conversation about restoration, belonging, and what it takes to build a livable future.


Drawing from his journeys through the Amazon, the Congo, and Haiti, Dax shares what he’s learned on the frontlines of conservation — and why restoring ecosystems is deeply tied to restoring human dignity, peace, and possibility.


Together, Anne and Dax explore the tension between technology and nature, the power of community-led solutions, and why even the smallest acts of care can ripple forward for generations.

This is a conversation about hope — not the passive kind, but the kind rooted in action, responsibility, and remembering that we are part of nature, not separate from it.



In this episode:

— What inspired Dax to write Echoes from Eden

— Lessons from restoration projects in the Amazon, Congo, and Haiti

— Why conservation and human survival are inseparable

— The importance of ownership and community in creating change

— Technology, regeneration, and the future we’re building

— How small actions shape the world to come

— Why hope is still worth choosing

All proceeds from Echoes from Eden support the Jane Goodall Institute.

Listen in, and ask yourself:

What does it look like to belong to the Earth again?
