If Jane was here, what question would you ask her? … KIATQ
Dr. Jane Goodall – Primatologist
- Founder, the Jane Goodall Institute – https://www.janegoodall.org
- Creator of Roots and Shoots for Action – https://www.rootsandshoots.org/
Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars, and her fascination with wildlife, Jane Goodall braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into humankind’s closest living relatives. Through nearly 60 years of groundbreaking work, Dr. Jane Goodall has not only shown us the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction; she has also redefined species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. Today she travels the world, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees and about environmental crises, urging each of us to take action on behalf of all living things and the planet we share. – https://www.ncwit.org/profile/dr-jane-goodall
