Jane Goodall is a world-renowned primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist, best known for her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in Tanzania. Born on April 3, 1934, in London, England, Goodall traveled to Gombe Stream National Park in 1960 to begin what would become a lifelong study of the social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees. Her observations that chimpanzees make and use tools challenged previous conceptions of human uniqueness and contributed significantly to the field of primatology. Goodall’s dedication to conservation and her advocacy for environmental stewardship have made her an international symbol of efforts to protect wildlife and preserve natural habitats. She has founded the Jane Goodall Institute and is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats.
