More from Jane Goodall
"When I was a little girl, I used to pretend I was Tarzan. I would climb trees and talk to the animals."
"The greatest hope for the future is the power of individual action."
"I've been called a 'tree hugger' and I wear it as a badge of honor."
"I still believe in the goodness of humanity."
"I've touched the soul of a chimpanzee, and it changed my life forever."
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.
