Edge of Eden is a deeply immersive and poetic journey through twelve remote, fragile ecosystems where culture and nature remain profoundly interwoven. Written from personal encounters with landscapes—from Norway’s fjords to Bolivia’s rivers and Borneo’s canopy—the book blends lyrical narrative with environmental insight. Rather than listing facts or travel tips, it tells stories shaped by local voices: Sami herders, pygmy guides, Bedouin trackers, and Indigenous leaders whose lives reflect the intricate ties between ecology and identity. Each chapter draws attention to the beauty and urgency of these places, inviting readers to understand the ripple effects of everyday choices—how shrimp, phones, or timber connect back to wild lands. Aimed at scientists, educators, travelers, and changemakers, this is a call to slow down, listen deeply, and protect wonder through conscious action. Edge of Eden is both a meditation and a compass—guiding readers toward empathy, sustainability, and meaningful engagement with the living world.
