Dr.Jane's Public lecture (GOMBE AND BEYOND) Date: 02/08/2013 to 02/08/2013 Type: Online
Today, Jane?s work revolves around inspiring action on behalf of endangered species, particularly chimpanzees, and encouraging people to do their part to make the world a better place for people, animals, and the environment we all share. The Jane Goodall Institute works to protect the famous chimpanzees of Gombe National Park in Tanzania, but recognizes this can?t be accomplished without a comprehensive approach that addresses the needs of local people who are critical to chimpanzee survival. Our community-centered conservation programs in Africa include sustainable development projects that engage local people as true partners. These programs began around Gombe in 1994, but have since been replicated in other parts of the continent. Likewise, Jane Goodall?s Roots & Shoots, which Jane started with a group of Tanzania students in 1991, is today the Institute?s global environmental and humanitarian youth program for young people from preschool through university with nearly 150,000 members in more than 120 countries.
