							<![CDATA[&nbsp; This is an abridged version of a piece I wrote shortly after her death a year today. I find it hard to believe Jane Goodall is gone. She was more than an icon to me. She was a friend, a mentor, and someone whose presence felt like both a gift and a lesson. Our friendship began in the most Jane way possible: an email that opened, “Yes, this is the real Jane Goodall,” followed by a request that I not share her “secret email address.” She said she admired Mongabay and wanted to meet. That message was the start of thirteen years of laughs, tears, and conversations that often stretched late into the night over vegan Indian food and a glass of whisky in her hotel room—even though I rarely drink or stay out late. Jane had a way of making every encounter feel personal. When she first met my children, she lit up as if she had been waiting her whole life for them to enter the room. She crouched to their level, told stories, and pulled up YouTube videos of rats performing clever tricks. “Aren’t they marvelous?” she said, with the same awe she once expressed for the chimpanzees of Gombe.

							<![CDATA[Five months after the passing of conservation icon Jane Goodall in 2025, Mongabay met her grandson, Merlin Van Lawick, at the ChangeNOW 2026 environmental forum in Paris. It was a first trip to the French capital for Van Lawick, who was born, raised and lives today in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. He has been connected to the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), the conservation organization founded by his grandmother, for “as long as he can remember,” he says. Now, working for the institute’s conservation science and communications team, Van Lawick’s involvement has grown over the last several years. That’s even more so now that his grandmother has passed, he tells Mongabay. Before starting his MBA at Arden University in the U.K., he spent a lot of time “learning through doing” in the field in Tanzania, connecting with communities and seeing firsthand the complexity of conservation work. In this interview with Mongabay’s Juliette Chapalain, Van Lawick talks about his relationship with his grandmother, how he developed a strong interest in storytelling, and new ways of thinking to scale up impact in a quickly changing world, whether the obstacles are biodiversity loss or the difficulty NGOs face in obtaining funding. He also spoke of the challenges and hope of the JGI in engaging more communities and people in the “environmental mission.” Jange Goodall (second from left) and Merlin Van Lawick (far left) at a Roots and Shoots event in Dar es Salaam.

							<![CDATA[April 3 now carries a different kind of weight. It was always Jane Goodall’s birthday. Now it is also a marker—a point in the year when people are asked not just to remember her, but to do something with what she set in motion. The idea behind the first Jane Goodall Day is simple. Take one action. It can be small. It should be real. The intent is to treat her life as something still in motion and to see those habits she cultivated continue in others. That framing feels appropriate. Goodall resisted the idea that her work belonged to her alone. Even at the height of her recognition, she redirected attention outward—toward the forests she had studied, the chimpanzees whose lives she had made visible, and the people who would decide what came next. In later years, when asked what she wanted to be remembered for, she returned to two things: changing how we see animals, and starting Roots &amp; Shoots. The second of those matters more than it first appears. Roots &amp; Shoots was designed as a way of distributing responsibility. It asked young people, and eventually adults, to look at their immediate surroundings and act on what they saw. It requires no permission and begins at any scale. The premise was that agency begins locally, and that it grows through repetition. Jane Goodall. Courtesy of Moby Anna Rathmann, who leads the Jane Goodall Institute in the United States, describes Jane Goodall Day in similar terms.

							<![CDATA[Today the nave of Washington National Cathedral was filled for Jane Goodall’s celebration of life, drawing scientists, activists, diplomats, and children alike. The service opened not in mourning but in gratitude. “This cathedral is a house of prayer for all people,” said Dean Randy Hollerith. “Jane was one of the world’s most remarkable human beings.” Few could disagree. Procession at the conclusion of Jane Goodall&#8217;s service in Washington D.C. on November 12, 2025. Photo by the Washington National Cathedral. Goodall’s life spanned ninety-one years and an era of transformation in how humans see the natural world. The girl who once hid in a henhouse to watch eggs being laid became the scientist who revealed that chimpanzees use tools and express emotions long thought uniquely human. Yet the tributes this morning were less about what she discovered than how she lived: her patience, her wit, and her unrelenting belief that hope was not a sentiment but a discipline.

The quiet force Anna Rathman, executive director of the Jane Goodall Institute USA, described a woman who led with restraint rather than volume, whose strength lay in conviction rather than command. “Jane was never the loudest in the room,” Rathman said. “But her powerful message spoke volumes.” Jane Goodall.

							<![CDATA[Over the years, Mongabay staff and contributors have conducted numerous interviews with Jane Goodall. The following is a recap of her ideas and reflections, organized by theme. A list of the interviews and other pieces appears at the end. When Jane Goodall died on October 1st at the age of 91, the tributes were immediate and global. Presidents recalled her counsel, children spoke of her visits to their classrooms, and conservationists remembered how she made them feel less alone in the struggle to save wild places. For many, she was a scientist who revolutionized primatology. For others, an advocate who insisted on the dignity of animals. For still more, a cultural icon who embodied the possibility of grace in an age of crisis. But to those who knew her, she was also someone who could crouch to a child’s level, pull up a video of rats doing tricks on YouTube, and exclaim with delight, “Aren’t they marvelous?” That moment captures something essential: she never lost her capacity for wonder. Jane Goodall in 2024. Courtesy of the Jane Goodall Institute. Over more than six decades, Goodall carried a message that was consistent, clear, and insistent: humanity’s fate is bound to the fate of the natural world, and hope is not an indulgence but a duty. Her legacy cannot be reduced to one discovery or one campaign. She was a scientist who redefined animals, a thinker who refused the split between reason and reverence, a pragmatist who weighed tools and compromises, and&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2025/10/jane-goodall-quotes-words-from-a-reluctant-global-icon/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Jane Goodall, who revealed the intimate lives of chimpanzees and gave the modern world a language of hope, has died at the age of 91. Over the course of six decades, she moved from an unlikely young researcher in the forests of East Africa to one of the most recognizable scientists and conservationists of her time. Her patient fieldwork at Gombe transformed primatology, overturning entrenched beliefs about the uniqueness of humans and forcing science to reckon with animal minds. She went on to found the Jane Goodall Institute, launch sanctuaries and community programs across Africa, and inspire millions through her Roots &amp; Shoots movement for young people. Her influence reached far beyond science: she became a United Nations Messenger of Peace, an advocate for animal welfare, and a tireless voice for conservation at a time of mounting global crisis. Yet through all of this she remained known simply as “Jane,” a figure who insisted that hope was not naïve but necessary. Jane Goodall in 2024. Courtesy of the Jane Goodall Institute. When she stepped into the forests of Gombe, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania in 1960, she carried little more than a notebook, binoculars, and an unlikely determination. She was not a scientist by training, but a young woman from Bournemouth with a childhood fascination for Africa, encouraged by a mother who told her never to give up. Within a few years she had overturned long-held certainties. Her observations showed that chimpanzees were not mere instinctive creatures&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2025/10/jane-goodall-1934-2025-primatologist-conservationist-and-messenger-of-hope/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Jane Goodall is coming to San Francisco. On September 16th, Climate One will host primatologist Jane Goodall and myself to mark two milestones: the conservation icon’s 90th year and Mongabay’s 25th anniversary. Greg Dalton of Climate One will moderate a discussion focused on our respective journeys and the reasons for hope in the face of environmental crises. This event presents an opportunity to hear directly from Goodall, whose decades-long influence on conservation is globally recognized. Goodall’s research on chimpanzees in Gombe, which began in the 1960s, fundamentally changed our understanding of primates and, by extension, ourselves. Beyond her scientific contributions, Goodall has become a global ambassador for environmental stewardship through the Jane Goodall Institute, Roots &amp; Shoots programs, and numerous books and films. Her work consistently advocates for the protection of chimpanzees and their habitats and raises awareness about the interdependence of all living things. At 90, Goodall remains as committed as ever to the cause she has championed for over half a century. Her role as a UN Messenger of Peace and her ongoing advocacy for sustainable living have made her not just a figure of scientific importance, but a symbol of hope in an increasingly uncertain world. In an era of relentless environmental challenges, Goodall’s message stands out with a simple yet profound optimism: that each individual has the power to make a difference. To increase the accessibility of this event, we have secured a block of tickets, available at no cost to middle and high school students,&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2024/08/jane-goodall-is-coming-to-san-francisco-her-event-is-sold-out-but-students-can-still-get-free-tickets/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Renowned primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall is bringing her youth program, Roots &amp; Shoots, to the Brazilian Amazon in partnership with Indigenous leaders and tech entrepreneur and conservationist Dax Dasilva. The goal is to better equip local youth to protect their ancestral lands. Goodall announced the new Amazon chapter of Roots &amp; Shoots after her first-ever in-depth visit to the Amazon alongside Dasilva, founder of the environmental organization Age of Union. (Editor’s note: Goodall is a member of Mongabay’s advisory council.) Observing Goodall’s tireless advocacy on the trip was personally impactful, Dasilva told Mongabay. “The thing I experienced being with her day and night was just the power of stories,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She&#8217;s just such a master storyteller and really takes the time to connect with people.&#8221; While visiting the Amazon, Goodall and Dasilva met with Juma Xipaya, founder of the Juma Institute within the Xipaya Indigenous Territory in Brazil’s Pará state. Juma led a successful resistance against a massive dam project in her territory and continues to resist the incursion of illegal loggers and miners. Indigenous activist Juma Xipaya (and her baby) met with Jane Goodall and Dax Dasilva in the Xipaya Indigenous Territory in the Brazilian Amazon.

							<![CDATA[Last week, primatologist and conservation icon Jane Goodall interviewed Mongabay founder and CEO Rhett Ayers Butler for her Hopecast podcast. Goodall and Butler talked about the importance of good storytelling in conveying information about the environment. &#8220;Facts can only go so far in persuading people,&#8221; Butler said. &#8220;You really need that combination of a strong factual basis and then a really good narrative that inspires people to care about the world around them, but also create a connection between the audience and the subject.&#8221; Rhett Butler in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo in 2015. Goodall lamented that much of the news around the environment is sad and depressing, and said there was a need to showcase more hopeful stories, including conservation successes. &#8220;Yes, we need the media to talk about all the horrible things that are happening to the environment,&#8221; she said. &#8220;But if it’s only doom and gloom that’s out there in the media, of course people are losing hope.&#8221; Butler said that while the media does tend to dwell on the negative, there are sometimes good environmental outcomes that come out of bad stories. &#8220;Sometimes you can have a bad story that results in a good outcome,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Covering it can then lead to the activity stopping or people being empowered.&#8221; An edited transcript of the conversation appears below.

							<![CDATA[Primatologist and conservation icon Jane Goodall has formally joined a global effort to counter climate change and the extinction crisis by planting a trillion trees within a decade. On Tuesday, Goodall announced Trees for Jane, an initiative that will raise money for vetted reforestation and forest conservation projects. &#8220;Forests are part of the solution to many of the world&#8217;s problems,&#8221; Goodall told Mongabay via a recent Zoom conversation. &#8220;Planting the right trees in the right places and protecting existing forests can help slow climate change and species extinction, while also helping local communities.&#8221; Jane Goodall hosting her Hopecast podcast in September 2021. Photo credit: Mongabay Trees for Jane is partnering with the Trillion Tree Campaign, an initiative led by the German NGO Plant-for-the-Planet, and 1t.org, a World Economic Forum project supported by Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, to reach the trillion trees goal by 2030. If these combined efforts realize this aim, it would increase Earth&#8217;s tree cover by about one-third relative to today, according a study published in Nature in 2015. Currently we are losing about 15 billion trees a year, mostly due to deforestation. Sungai Utik community forest in Indonesian Borneo. The Sungai Utik community won the UNDP Equator Prize in 2019 for its long-running efforts to protect its customary forest from loggers. But while tree-planting on such a massive scale could sequester vast amounts of carbon, there are concerns about the potential social and environmental impacts, especially if trees are planted at the expense of native ecosystems or&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2021/09/jane-goodall-launches-effort-in-support-of-planting-1-trillion-trees-by-2030/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Primatologist, conservationist, and world-famous environmentalist Jane Goodall, DBE, won the 2021 Templeton Prize, a $1.5 million award that recognizes achievements of people &#8220;harnessing the power of the sciences to explore the deepest questions of the universe and humankind’s place and purpose within it.&#8221; Goodall, who joins a list of illustrious winners including Desmond Tutu (2013) and the Dalai Lama (2012), was awarded for her &#8220;scientific and spiritual curiosity&#8221; that yielded new insights on animal intelligence and how humanity connects with the species and ecosystems that surround us. “We are delighted and honored to award Dr. Jane Goodall this year, as her achievements go beyond the traditional parameters of scientific research to define our perception of what it means to be human,” said Heather Templeton Dill, president of the John Templeton Foundation. “Her discoveries have profoundly altered the world’s view of animal intelligence and enriched our understanding of humanity in a way that is both humbling and exalting. Ultimately, her work exemplifies the kind of humility, spiritual curiosity, and discovery that my grandfather, John Templeton, wrote and spoke about during his life.” Jane Goodall. Photo credit: Jane Goodall Institute. John Templeton was an investor and philanthropist who started the Templeton Growth Fund, a diversified mutual fund, in 1954. During his lifetime, he donated more than $1 billion to charitable causes and established the John Templeton Foundation, which gives out the Templeton Prize on the annual basis. Goodall represents an unusual choice for the prize because she isn&#8217;t a religious figure.

							<![CDATA[The world is facing unprecedented challenges. At the time of writing, the coronavirus COVID-19 has infected over 3.57 million people globally and as of the 4th of May  250,134 people have died, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.  At present, people in most countries around the world are self-isolating at home (either alone or with family), keeping social distance and reducing going outdoors to a minimum. Some businesses have totally closed down, some carry on with staff working from home, some people are temporarily laid off, and thousands of people around the world have lost their jobs. Already the economic cost of all this is catastrophic. We all follow the news and pray that the lockdown will end in country after country as the peak infection and death rate is reached and then gradually drops. This has already happened in China, where the COVID-19 coronavirus originated, thanks to the stringent measures undertaken by the Chinese government. We hope that a vaccine will soon be developed and that we can gradually get back to normal. But we must never forget what we have been through and we must take the necessary steps to prevent another such pandemic in the future. The tragedy is that a pandemic of this sort has long been predicted by those studying zoonotic diseases (those that, like COVID-19, spill over from animals into humans). It is almost certain that this pandemic started with such a spill over in China’s Wuhan seafood market that also sold terrestrial&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2020/05/jane-goodall-covid-19-is-a-product-of-our-unhealthy-relationship-with-animals-and-the-environment/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[To honor Jane Goodall, the City of Los Angeles declared her 85th birthday, April 3, 2019, to be “Dr. Jane Goodall Day” and hosted a ceremony where the conservation icon talked about many things including her connection to the city. Her birthday was capped by a dinner gathering hosted by her friend, actor and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio. After her birthday, Jane, a Mongabay advisory board member, recounted in an interview a 1990s visit to L.A. where she won over of a room full of skeptical senior police officials with a chimpanzee call and provided an update on new initiatives via the Jane Goodall Institute, Roots and Shoots, and her recently-announced foundation. In recognition of Earth Day 2019 and the 85th birthday of the world’s most recognizable conservationist, below is an excerpt from the conversation between Jane and Mongabay founder Rhett Butler. The interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. Mongabay: What brought you to L.A.? Jane Goodall: As you know it was my birthday this week and the city of Los Angeles honored me by declaring April 3, 2019 is “Dr. Jane Goodall Day”. Mongabay: And Leonardo Dicaprio threw a nice 85th birthday dinner for you. Jane Goodall: Well, it was quite the experience for me too. Leo and I have become really good friends. He’s such a nice person. So genuine. Leo really does care and he really does know the animals. He&#8217;s just done a film on one of the most endangered animals in the world, the&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2019/04/jane-goodall-on-leonardo-dicaprio-her-85th-birthday-and-the-need-for-hope/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[More than 30 scientists and leaders in environmental conservation are calling for the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award Jane Goodall with the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize. Citing the 84-year-old primatologist’s groundbreaking discoveries in the 1960s that blurred the lines between animals and humans, such as tool use in chimpanzees, as well as her ongoing, decades-long campaign to protect our planet, the group argues that her life’s work has been a quest for global harmony. Young researcher Jane Goodall with baby chimpanzee Flint at Gombe Stream Research Center in Tanzania. Image © the Jane Goodall Institute/Hugo van Lawick. Her early work studying chimpanzees in Gombe National Park, situated in what would become Tanzania, revealed that “our similarities with animals are far greater than are our differences,” writes the group of researchers, authors and teachers from 16 countries, on the website Change.org. “We must see ourselves as partners not only with other humans, but also with chimpanzees and all the other creatures who walk, swim, crawl, and fly on the face of the earth,” they add. At the time of publication, more than 2,600 people had signed the online petition in support of the prize for Goodall.

							<![CDATA[This week’s podcast featured a discussion between Mongabay’s founder and CEO Rhett A. Butler and Jane Goodall, the world’s most recognizable conservationist and one of this media outlet’s esteemed advisory board members (listen to excerpts of it here). Rhett and Jane check in regularly, but given the recent research vindicating her long (six decade) contention that animals – from the chimps she studied to the everyday animals we are all surrounded by – are individuals with personalities, just like humans, we decided to record and share the conversation. Listen here or read the transcript below: In this context they discuss the idea that trophy hunting is an important component of funding the conservation of species like lions and rhinos (Dr. Goodall calls that “rubbish” for multiple reasons, including the loss of accumulated wisdom and experience held by elder animals). Also discussed is China’s increasing environmental awareness; the importance of conservation groups working with communities on multiple levels like health and education, and not just the environment; the recent disasters like in Puerto Rico and northern California; news that the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI)’s youth program Roots and Shoots now has perhaps 150,000 chapters worldwide; and an update on JGI’s network of village-level volunteers, which in combination with tech tools like remote sensing, is able to provide the latest observations of what’s happening all over the world, as in the examples she shares from Tanzania and Burundi. The two spoke just before Dr. Goodall set off on her latest speaking tour:&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2017/11/jane-goodall-interview-the-most-important-thing-is-sharing-good-news/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Famed conservationist Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), UN Messenger of Peace, and Mongabay.com advisory board member visited Hawai’i last month for the World Conservation Congress, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s latest global gathering. She and her team kept a busy schedule as usual, giving press conferences and speaking about topics ranging from new conservation techniques to wildlife trafficking (she and her team travel an average of 300 days a year appearing at events, visiting school groups, and more). Mongabay checked in with her briefly to continue the conversation and to hear her thoughts about progress made at the IUCN event. AN INTERVIEW WITH JANE GOODALL Mongabay.com: You spoke at the event about recent advances in conservation efforts around Gombe National Park, and now in nearby Uganda, thanks in part to technologies like 3D mapping. Are tech solutions coming to be as important as traditional conservation techniques in your view? Jane Goodall during a World Conservation Congress press conference in Hawai&#8217;i, September 2016 Goodall: I think, in view of additional pressures caused by human population growth and increasing demand for land for growing crops, and poaching, there is equal need for any tools that can help save the habitat, and chimpanzees’ lives. Traditional methods will always be important – it is absolutely necessary to have conservationists and/or researchers on the ground, to have people working with local communities, improving the lives of the people, encouraging sustainable livelihoods (tree nurseries, small family farms without the use of chemicals,&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2016/10/jane-goodall-on-zoos-and-tech-as-conservation-tools/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[su Dr. Jane Goodall with Freud, a chimpanzee from Gombe. Photograph © Michael Neugebauer Jane Goodall is not only arguably the most famous conservationist who ever lived, but also the most well-known and respected female scientist on the planet today. Her path to reach that stature is as unlikely as it is inspiring. Told to &#8220;never give up&#8221; by her mother, Goodall set out in her 20s to pursue her childhood dream: to live with animals in Africa. By the time she was 26 she was doing just this. Hand-picked by renowned anthropologist, Louis Leakey, she was sent to Gombe, Tanzania to conduct the first long-term behavior study of wild chimps. Without even a college degree, Goodall became the only person ever to be accepted into a chimpanzee group. Her work yielded profound — and controversial — insights on our closest relatives, including the discovery that humans were not the only tool users, eventually contributing to a broader scientific movement to identify and document &#8220;culture&#8221; within other species. Goodall began to win the first of her many accolades. While many biologists would be content with publishing a widely cited body of work, garnering an impressive list of awards, and changing how we view our world and ourselves, &#8220;Dr. Jane&#8221; went well beyond that, moving from research to advocacy. The realization that chimps could go extinct in the wild led her to devote herself to an arguably even more challenging endeavor: conservation. She refused to let the world lose what she&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2014/11/jane-goodall-5-reasons-to-have-hope-for-the-planet/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Tchimpounga, chimpanzees, and extractive industries in the Republic of Congo &#8220;Tchimpounga is not just a sanctuary,&#8221; shouted Rebeca Atencia above the din of the outboard motor, as she pointed to our progress up the Kouilou River on her tablet, donated by Google, which included access to high-resolution satellite maps. The GPS tracking showed us as a small, blue diamond moving slowly up the murky river. I marveled once again at 21st Century technology. Here we were, in a remote part of the Republic of Congo (RoC) in Central Africa, with thick tropical jungle on both banks and no roads inland, yet there was access to GPS tracking and cell phone service. Atencia was giving me the history of the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Centre as we headed for three islands in the Kouilou River that were being transformed into chimpanzee preparation sites for pre-release into the wild. Here orphaned chimpanzees would learn, under supervision, how to fend for themselves. Atencia shows the author their progress up the Kouilou River on the tablet provided by Google. Photo by Stephan Chamayou &#8220;Jane Goodall came to Brazzaville in 1992 for a conference,&#8221; Atencia continued, referring to the famed chimpanzee researcher turned ape rights campaigner. &#8220;Driving to the conference they passed an outdoor market and Jane saw a young chimpanzee tied to a post with a rope around its waist. She ordered the car to stop and went to see the poor thing. The rope had dug into the chimpanzee&#8217;s skin and caused an infection.&#8221;&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2014/11/flying-under-the-radar-in-central-africa-chinese-companies-may-be-wreaking-environmental-havoc/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[New maps allow public exploration of the area Goodall has used for research for nearly fifty years Google Maps is now available for Tanzanian forest paths. Users can walk virtually along the same trails Jane Goodall has used for decades of chimpanzee study &#8212; and even into her house. Gombe Street View, a joint effort between Google Maps, Google Earth Outreach (GEO), Tanzania National Parks, and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), used the same method to capture Gombe Stream National Park as Google did when mapping streets around the world. Except instead of using vehicles to carry the 15-lens cameras used for recording the 360-degree images, Google&#8217;s two &#8220;trekkers&#8221; had to carry the cameras around in 40-pound backpacks. Gombe Street View image of a mother and juvenile eastern chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) walking along a trail in Gombe Stream National Park. Image courtesy of Google Earth. The result is an immersive, interactive world that takes you from the shores of Lake Tanganyika &#8212; the longest freshwater lake in the world &#8212; to densely forested valleys to the stark tops of hills, with chimps featured prominently in many of the shots. “When it’s two dimensional, when it doesn’t include imagery, it’s not a very faithful representation of reality,” Rebecca Moore, founder of GEO, told Smithsonian Magazine. “We want to create this highly realistic replica of the planet and put it in everyone’s hand.” Users can even look around in Jane Goodall&#8217;s house, where skulls and books abound.

							<![CDATA[Jane Goodall. Photo by: Morten Bjarnhof/GANT. Famed primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall&#8212;whose image is known the world over&#8212;has joined the advisory board of mongabay.org. This is the non-profit branch of mongabay.com, an environmental and science website with a special focus on tropical forests. &#8220;I began visiting [Mongabay] when I was researching information for my books, and I soon discovered why it has become one of the most widely read environmental web sites, attracting more than one million people every month,&#8221; Goodall said in a letter. &#8220;These visitors include conservationists, environmental NGOs, journalists &#8212;and even the President of Indonesia who, I discovered, tweets responses to some of the stories published in Mongabay’s popular Indonesian language environmental news service!&#8221; Goodall first came to global prominence at the age of 26 when she set off to Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania to study chimpanzee behavior. The first and only person to ever be fully accepted into a chimpanzee community, Goodall revolutionized our understanding of our closest relative&#8217;s intelligence and evolution by discovering that chimpanzees used tools. Until then, humans were thought to be the only &#8220;tool-users&#8221; on the planet. Since Goodall&#8217;s discovery, many other species have been added to the tool-user list. She also observed and described the violent, even war-like, side of chimp behavior, overturning beliefs that not only were chimps vegetarians, but were wholly peaceable. Jane Goodall.

							<![CDATA[Dr. Jane Goodall, primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist, with a chimpanzee in her arms, c. 1995. Image Credit: Apic/Getty Images Primatologist and conservation legend Jane Goodall turns 80 today. In recognition of her achievements in protecting nature and wildlife, Wendee Nicole, the first recipient of the Mongabay Prize for Environmental Reporting, has done two Goodall-related posts for Animal Planet: Top 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Love Jane Goodall and A Birthday Exclusive: Q&#038;A with Jane Goodall. What I appreciate about Nicole&#8217;s pieces is they go beyond some of the superficial birthday celebration stories making the rounds on the Internet this week. In the Top 10 list post, Nicole explains how Goodall&#8217;s work aligns with Elinor Ostrom’s 2009 Nobel-winning theory on polycentric governance, an abstract concept for most people. Nicole writes: The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI)’s pioneering community-based conservation methods align with the late Elinor Ostrom’s 2009 Nobel-winning theory that conserving forests and improving people’s lives are not mutually exclusive. Ostrom showed that empowering local people most invested in forests or other natural resources – in this case the African villagers – would result in the best outcomes for forests and people. Jane’s work embodies that theory on the ground. The Mongabay Prize for Environmental Reporting provided seed funding for Nicole&#8217;s exploration of Ostrom&#8217;s theory as it applies on the ground, so it is exciting to see the first products of this effort. Since Nicole won the award, Mongabay.org has granted five more prizes.

							<![CDATA[The Ethical Ape is a regular column published by author and researcher Shawn Thompson. The views expressed in the column are his own. It is the easiest of premises to make that Jane Goodall is a good person who has lived a moral life. It is more troubling to explain why that is. Even Jane Goodall herself has difficulty explaining it, and she is an authority on her own life. Consider as a moral thought experiment to explain why Jane Goodall can be said to be good, the creation of a contrary, hypothetical figure, a dark and heretical version of her, a Jane Evilall who illuminates Jane Goodall by contrasting her. This bad Goodall is the nightmare experience of moral idiocy that is all too familiar in the world as we know it. Part of this nightmare is that we can&#8217;t predict if a child, Jane Goodall or otherwise, will become good or evil and we don&#8217;t know how to raise a child like Goodall to guarantee goodness. In this moral thought experiment, the good and evil twins, the two Janes, Goodall and Evilall, are raised in the same world, have the same experiences, live duplicate and parallel lives, and yet by a mystery that we do not comprehend, one acts morally and the other acts without moral considerations. That puzzles us as thinkers who are willing to confront this mystery honestly and fearlessly and it leaves us feeling endlessly dissatisfied. But we are bold enough to persist against the&hellip;This article was originally published on <a href="https://news.mongabay.com/2013/08/coming-to-terms-with-the-evil-jane-goodall-and-the-mystery-of-the-dragonfly-incident/" data-wpel-link="internal">Mongabay</a>]]>

							<![CDATA[Celebrating 50 years of pioneering research and sharing an inspiring vision for our future, world-renowned primatologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall renews her faith in nature and humanity during the &#8220;Gombe 50&#8221; anniversary. 2010 marks a monumental milestone for the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and its founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. Fifty years ago, Goodall, who is today a world-renowned global conservation leader, first set foot on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in what is now Tanzania’s Gombe National Park. The chimpanzee behavioral research she pioneered at Gombe has produced a wealth of scientific discovery, and her vision has expanded into a global mission &#8216;to empower people to make a difference for all living things.&#8217; Time, however, has not stood still for Gombe. The wild chimps of the area have suffered as the local human population has swelled. Gombe National Park is now a forest fragment, a 35-square-kilometer island of habitat isolated in a sea of subsistence farming. Because the problems facing Gombe—unsustainable land practices, overpopulation, and a cycle of poverty—are typical of many other areas, lessons learned by Dr. Goodall and her team provide valuable insights for solutions at Gombe and beyond. Mongabay first began a working dialogue with Dr. Goodall and the staff of the Jane Goodall Institute at the 2009 Wildlife Conservation Network Annual Expo in San Francisco. Dr. Goodall was the keynote speaker at this event, which showcased conservationists and environmental projects across the globe.
