Dr. Jane Goodall died on Wednesday at the age of 91. After National Geographic published her groundbreaking work in 1963, she spent more than 60 years in the public spotlight as a prolific writer, speaker, and advocate for change. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977, which has grown into one of the largest advocacy and conservation organizations in the world and started the Roots & Shoots youth program, which has helped more young people get into conservation and environmentalism. She helped build a movement.

And she used her voice and platform to fight for climate action. In 2021, we had the chance to talk to Dr. Goodall about her climate advocacy. At the time, she was serving as an official COP26 Advocate. Today, we remember her life and legacy and replay our interview with Dr. Goodall.
