More from Jane Goodall
"The great thing about chimpanzees is that they teach you humility."
"Every animal has a right to live, and we should respect that right."
"The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves."
"I'm often asked if I'm an optimist or a pessimist. I say I'm a 'possibilist.'"
"The future of the planet depends on us, and we need to take that responsibility seriously."
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.
