Jane Goodall remembered as a ‘tireless advocate’ as tributes pour in

"Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future."⁠
⁠
In 1960, Dr. Goodall established the longest-running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, which continues to this day. ⁠

The world has lost an extraordinary voice with the passing of Dame Jane Goodall.

Her boundless curiosity, compassion and pioneering spirit transformed our understanding of the natural world. She challenged us all to make a difference and inspired me and countless others to work…

"She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world."
⁠
Goodall was made a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002. Addressing the UN, Goodall stressed the importance of fighting for peace.⁠
⁠
"I think it’s more important than ever in the world we live in today that we have a vision of what it would be like to live in a peaceful world, the kind of world we all want, and then to see what we as individuals can do to try and bring that about.”⁠

Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved…
