Making a difference with Dr. Jane Goodall

“In 1960, a young British woman ventured into the forests of Africa, to follow her childhood dream. To find a way to watch free, wild animals, living their own, undisturbed lives. She left everything familiar behind, and ended up giving the world a remarkable window into our closest living relatives.”

Dr. Jane Goodall spent a life-time studying chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, and fundamentally changed the way we view our closest living relatives. But her legacy is bigger than that. Her message is one of hope, reminding us that we all have the power to make a difference.
