About Our Guest
Dr. Jane Goodall (born April 3, 1934, in London, England) is a pioneering British ethologist renowned for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. Leaving school at 18, Goodall’s fascination with animals led her to Africa, where she began assisting Louis Leakey. In 1960, she established a research camp at Gombe, revolutionizing our understanding of primate behavior by documenting their use of tools and complex social structures. Earning a Ph.D. from Cambridge in 1965 without a prior degree, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and initiated the Roots & Shoots program in 1991. She continues to advocate for conservation and environmental issues.
