Icon: The Life of Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall is one of the world’s most prominent experts on chimpanzees. She has devoted her life to animal welfare, human rights and the environment. Goodall spent 55 years studying wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. During her research, Goodall discovered that chimpanzees could make and use tools, and that they have personalities and emotions similar to human beings. In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute, a global organization committed to conserving and protecting chimpanzee habitats. The institute's "Roots and Shoots" program focuses on empowering students to work on environmental, conservation and humanitarian issues. In 1986, Goodall changed her focus from observing chimpanzees to becoming an activist for human rights, animal protection and environmental conservation. Today, at the age of 82, Jane Goodall travels the world 300 days a year to promote awareness for chimpanzees, human rights and protecting the environment.
