JANE GOODALL
Dame Jane Morris Goodall born on 3 April 1934, is an English primatologist and anthropologist. Goodall is best known for her 60-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees since she first witnessed human-like behaviours amongst chimpanzees, including armed conflicts.
As a child, Goodall's father gave her a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee. Goodall has said her fondness for this figure started her early love of animals. Today, Jubilee still sits on Goodall's dresser in London.
In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which supports the Gombe research, and she is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. The organisation now has over 10,000 groups in over 100 countries. In 1994, Goodall founded a project by the name TACARE to protect chimpanzees' habitat from deforestation. Goodall credits the 1986 understanding chimpanzees conference with shifting her focus from observation of chimpanzees to a broader and more intense concern with animal-human conservation. She is the former president of Advocates for Animals, an organisation that campaigns against the use of animals for human benefits. In April 2002, she was named a UN Messenger of Peace. Goodall is an honorary member of the World Future Council. Today, Goodall devotes virtually all of her time to advocacy on behalf of chimpanzees and the environment, travelling nearly 300 days a year.
Over the years since 2000 Goodall had been working as an activist by attending conferences, establishing projects and educating people on nature and needs to protect endangered species. In February 2021, Jane Goodall and more than 140 scientists called on the EU Commission to abolish caging of farm animals.
She has been honoured by various awards like Kyoto prize in 1990, Hubbard medal in 1995, Tyler prize for environmental achievement in 1997 and Templeton prize in 2021.
