Jane Goodall

Some people call it 'roughing it.' I call it 'living.'

The future depends on what we do in the present.

I've always believed that every creature has a right to exist.

It's a pity that some people only care about nature when it directly benefits them.

My life has been an adventure, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

We have to instill hope in young people, because they are the future.

If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

I've learned that even the smallest actions can have a big impact.

The greatest lesson I've learned is humility.

We need to listen to the wisdom of indigenous cultures, they understand the earth better than we do.

My life's work has been about breaking down the barriers between humans and animals.

The world is full of wonders, if only we take the time to see them.

I've always been a bit of a rebel, I suppose. I never liked being told what to do.

We have to remember that every creature has a role to play in the ecosystem.

My greatest joy is seeing young people inspired to make a difference.

The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.

I've always been drawn to the wild, it's where I feel most at home.

We need to cultivate a sense of wonder and respect for the natural world.

We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the Earth, and that means protecting all life, not just human life.

Chimpanzees have taught me that the line between humans and other animals is not as sharp as we once thought.
