Jane Goodall, born under the name Valerie Jane Morris- Goodall, is a British primatologist with complete dedication to understand, protect, nourish, and preserve the lives of all living things, especially chimpanzees. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 that gives power and encouragement to people to make a difference to all living things. It all started after she encountered the Gombe chimps in Tanzania. She made the richness and complexity of chimpanzees communities more clear and obvious to people, and today, Gombe chimps are the world's best known through her Gombe Stream Research Center. In the 1980's, deforestation had a major negative impact on the life of chimpanzees in Africa. This incident encouraged Jane to change her focus from research to conservation.
