As a world-renowned conservationist, Dr.Goodall's Canadian appearances come at an important time for conservation in Canada, with the federal government's renewed commitment to preserving 30% of marine and land areas by 2030.
Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) is a global community-centred conservation organization that advances the vision and work of Dr. Jane Goodall in over 30 countries. It aims to understand wildlife and their habitats, and to empower people to be compassionate citizens dedicated to conservation.
The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada furthers this work here in Canada by supporting communities to address the convergence of three crises: biodiversity loss, climate change, and environmental inequity. We do this through community-centred conservation, an approach that puts local knowledge and expertise first; and One Health, a model that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all things.
In Africa, our programs are in "Chimpscape" regions where the health of chimpanzees is directly linked to the health of local people and environments. These include the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Tanzania, and Senegal. In Canada we work primarily with youth and Indigenous communities, as key groups who are disproportionately affected by the three crises, but uniquely positioned to affect change.
