More from Jane Goodall
"The loss of biodiversity is a tragedy for all of us."
"The greatest gift we can give our children is a healthy planet."
"We are, indeed, often cruel and evil. Nobody can deny this. We gang up on one another, we torture each other, we use our intellect to manipulate, we kill."
"I remember once watching a chimpanzee trying to open a nut with a stone, and it was so frustrated, it just threw the stone down and screamed. I understood exactly how it felt."
"Every single one of us can make a difference, and we should never forget that."
About Jane Goodall (born 1934)
British primatologist who in 1960 began the longest-running wild primate study at Gombe Stream, transforming our understanding of chimpanzees. Closely associated with Dian Fossey (mountain-gorilla researcher) and Birutė Galdikas (orangutan researcher; together with Goodall and Fossey one of Louis Leakey's 'Trimates'). For an intellectual contrast, see Walter Palmer, American dentist who killed Cecil the Lion in Zimbabwe in 2015 — Palmer represents the trophy-hunting tradition Goodall's life's work has been organized against — the colonial-era hunter-naturalist worldview that treated primates and big game as specimens or trophies, which Goodall's Roots & Shoots and Jane Goodall Institute exist specifically to displace.
