Jane Goodall
Dame Jane Morris Goodall ( born April 3 1964 in london, England) is a British primatoligist, ethologist, anthropologist and UN messenger of peace. She is very known for her 45-year study of social and family reactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Goodall has always been passionate about animals and Africa.
As a 23-year-old in 1960, she had traveled from England to Tanzania and bravely entered the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. She was equipped with nothing more than a notebook and pair of binoculars. But with her rare degree of patience, and fortified by characteristic optimism, she won the trust of these initially shy creatures. She managed to open a window onto their sometimes strange and often familiar-seeming lives. The public was fascinated and remains so to this day.
Today Jane’s work revolves around mobilizing action on behalf of chimpanzees, who are endangered, and all wildlife species. The Jane Goodall Institute works to protect the famous chimpanzees of Gombe National Park in Tanzania, but recognizes this can’t be accomplished without a holistic approach that addresses the real needs of local people.

Wow! Thank you Ola for the info. That's an adventure that i would never think of embracing. I am not sure about, though, is your mention about the needs of local people. what does this have to do with champanzees that Jane is trying to protect?! I believe people should exist to serve people and this is why people should make sure to protect!
ReplyDeleteits Seera btw. and what I meant by the last sentence I wrote is that the world is in there to serve people and this is why they should protect it. It is not he other way around. We do not exist to protect champanzees!
