Description
Primatologist, environmentalist and humanitarian, Dr. Goodall was appointed a United Nations Messenger of Peace by Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2002. A pioneer in the study of chimpanzees, she transformed our understanding of the natural world and dedicated her life to the protection of people, animals, and the planet.
She founded the Jane Goodall Institute, internationally recognized for its innovative conservation and community-centered development programmes across Africa, where she began her groundbreaking field research in 1960. Through her global Roots & Shoots programme, she inspired generations of young people in nearly 100 countries to take action for a more just and sustainable world.
As a UN Messenger of Peace for over two decades, Dr. Goodall’s voice brought global attention to the urgency of protecting our environment. Her legacy will continue to guide and inspire humanity’s collective efforts for peace, sustainability, and harmony with nature."
