Jane Goodall

It isn't only the animals that are suffering. It's the people too. We are all interconnected.

The chimpanzees taught me that we are not as different from the rest of the animal kingdom as we used to think.

We have to find a way to live in harmony with the natural world, because if we don't, we're going to destroy ourselves.

We are part of the natural world, not separate from it.

It is our responsibility to be good stewards of the planet.

We have to have hope. If we lose hope, we lose everything.

My job is to give people hope, because without hope, they won't act.

We are destroying the natural world at an alarming rate, and we need to stop.

The world is a beautiful place, and we need to protect it.

We need to listen to the voices of the voiceless.

The more we understand about the natural world, the more we will want to protect it.

We are all connected, and what happens to one part of the world affects us all.

We need to change our ways, or we will face dire consequences.

The natural world is a source of wonder and inspiration, and we need to preserve it for future generations.

We have a moral obligation to protect the planet and all its creatures.

The future is in our hands, and we have the power to make a difference.

When I first went to Gombe, it was assumed that humans were the only tool-making animals. That was one of the definitions of humanity. And then I saw David Greybeard making a tool.

It was not acceptable for a woman to live alone in the forest with wild animals. It was just not done.

The chimpanzees taught me that animals have personalities, minds, and emotions. They are not just automatons.

I learned that the line between good and evil runs through every human heart, and through every chimpanzee heart too.
