Dr.
Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and UN
Messenger of Peace, is a world-renowned ethologist and activist inspiring
greater understanding and action on behalf of the natural world.
Dr. Goodall is known for groundbreaking studies of wild chimpanzees in
Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, which forever changed our
understanding of our relationship to the rest of the animal kingdom. This
transformative research continues today as the longest running wild
chimpanzee study in the world. Jane’s work builds on scientific
innovations, growing a lifetime of advocacy including trailblazing
efforts through her international organization the Jane Goodall Institute
which advances community-led conservation, animal welfare, science and
youth empowerment through JGI’s Roots & Shoots program.
Today, Jane continues to connect with worldwide audiences, despite the
challenges of the pandemic, through Virtual
Jane including remote lectures, recordings and her
podcast, the Jane
Goodall Hopecast. In 2021, Jane was the recipient of the
Templeton Prize and her newest book, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times, was
published.
Jane is a global icon spreading hope and turning it into meaningful
positive impact to create a better world for people, other
animals and the planet we share.
