About Dr. Jane Goodall:
Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and United Nations Messenger of Peace, was an ethologist and activist who inspired greater understanding and action on behalf of the natural world. Known for her groundbreaking studies of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, Dr. Goodall forever changed our understanding of our relationship with the animal kingdom.
Her work extended beyond scientific innovations, encompassing a lifetime of advocacy through her international organization, the Jane Goodall Institute – which advances community-led conservation, animal welfare, science, and youth empowerment through its Roots & Shoots program. A global icon, Dr. Goodall spent decades spreading hope and turning it into a meaningful positive impact, working to create a better world for animals, people, and the environment we share.
About the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada:
The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada amplifies and scales community-led actions to create a world where animals, people, and the environment thrive together. We bridge science with traditional wisdom, support community initiatives, and empower young environmental leaders across Canada and chimpanzee ranges of Africa.
Rooted in Dr. Jane Goodall's transformative insight that you cannot save wildlife without improving the lives of people who share their habitat – a truth long held by Indigenous Peoples worldwide – we partner with communities leading conservation on their own lands. And rooted in Dr. Jane Goodall's message of hope through action, we inspire everyone to embrace their individual power to make a difference.
