| Darling Goodall getting lice out her head .. she's real star! tee-hee |
Jane Goodall is one blessed woman who has found her calling... Chimpanzees! (alriiiiiight!!!)
But on a more serious note, Goodall has dedicated her life to preserving the forests in Africa from poverty stricken farmers who are looking to a quick buck to feed their hungry children.
If none of you have ever come across uneducated masses, let me just tell you, they are not the easiest bunch to convert. So Goodall goes into these communities with a mission to educate them and support them to start their own businesses in order to survive.
Goodall's keen interest in the 'great wild beasts' began in the 1960s when it was not common for a young lady to be living alone in Africa; she was lucky to have the support of her mother who accompanied her to Gombe in Tanganyika (present day Tanzania).
During her stay, Goodall observed the chimpanzees lifestyles and brought to light different aspects about their lives such the Alpha male, altruism and protection instincts.
Goodall's work in Africa inspired the creation of Roots and Shoots which is dedicated to improving communities and environment.
