Jane Goodall, a long-time dedicated scientist in the field of chimpanzees, was the first scientist in Tanzania to observe chimpanzees behaving similar to humans. She is also passionate about environmental education and public welfare, and the Jane Goodall Institute, which she created and managed, is a renowned civilian animal welfare institution.

She is a legend in our science, biology, and English textbooks.He is also the person who was screened by the barrage when opening a social account. More than 60 years ago, she studied chimpanzees in the jungles of Africa and rewrote the definition of ¡°human.¡±At the end of the year, she continues her ¡°Extreme Operations¡±: spending 300 days a year running around the world, calling on people to take action to take care of the surrounding animals and the natural environment.

It is worth noting that on the last day of November 2024, Jean Goodall walked the mainland China for the 17th time, embarking on a five-day "Tour of Hope".

During her five days in China, Jane Goodall participated in six large-scale activities, including the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Roots and Shoots, the "Mountains and Seas Have Souls" 2024 China Wildlife Imaging Annual Competition Award Ceremony, Jane Goodall's 2024 Journey of Hope Charity Dinner, etc. She worked intensively to let more people understand the importance of environmental protection and publicize the power of hope.

According to reports, Dr. Jane Goodall was born in the United Kingdom in 1934. She has loved observing animals since she was a child, and her favorite books are "Doctor Dolittle" and "Tarzan of the Apes". These hobbies gave her the idea of going to Africa to see animals since she was a child. After graduating from high school, she was unable to continue her studies due to her poor family. But she received an invitation from her good friend from Kenya and decided to go to Africa alone.

By chance, she met the famous ancient anthropologist Louis Liki, the scientist who discovered the "capable" skull. He was recruiting researchers willing to travel to the jungle of Africa to observe chimpanzees. Hoping to explore the social evolution of ancient human populations. Jane got the job and went to Gumbai, northwestern Tanzania. Her fate with the chimpanzees was determined.

That year, she was 26 years old.

Jane Goodall said she was really lucky to meet the great Louis Leakey. It was Louis Leakey who gave her the opportunity to study the chimpanzees that were most human-like.

The Legendary Life of Jane Goodall.

Gamba has not only chimpanzees, but also mountainous forests and beasts. Though the living conditions are very tough, she loves the work. At first, as a human being who suddenly appears in the woods, she can't see the shadow of chimpanzees at all, and can only climb the top of the mountain every day, look far, and recognize their cry.

Jane Goodall said that as soon as she entered the jungle, it felt like she was home, which she had always dreamed of. Only the fact that the chimpanzee avoided her upsets her. Nevertheless, this is still her dream.

Until one day, there began to be chimpanzees gradually approaching her. Though it was possible to get close, observing chimpanzees was not an easy task. Not only to hike over the water to track them, but also to wind camp, so that they could record their behavior and communication at all times.

Observing chimpanzees seemed to be a dull job for ordinary people, but she carefully documented her research and uncovered a lot of unknown secrets.

Interview with Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall said she was familiar with understanding each individual of the chimpanzees, their different characteristics, their behavior, and observing how they make and use tools that only humans thought could do at the time.

Jane also said that she understood the power classes that male chimpanzees ruled, and found that they, like human societies, had good chimpanzees and bad chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees eat meat in addition to plants; chimpanzees can make and use tools to get food; chimpanzees have community structures that use weapons in group conflicts. These records are the earliest data for chimpanzees study, bringing a great shock to the world. Subverting the definition of "man is the only animal that can make and use tools."

Jane Goodall says there are no creatures on Earth closer to humans than chimpanzees

Jane Goodall said that she lives in a society of incredibly intelligent creatures. There are no creatures closer to humans on this planet than chimpanzees.

With the independence of African countries, population growth, and social changes such as economic development, large areas of Africa's forests have begun to be destroyed. Poachers hunt adult chimpanzees in the forests of Gombe, capture young chimpanzees, and sell them to laboratories and circuses around the world. The habitat and population of chimpanzees have been destroyed, and they have gradually become endangered animals.

Jane Goodall left because she suddenly realized that the number of chimpanzees on the African continent had decreased dramatically. She said that the forests had disappeared, and that there was a trade in ¡°jungle meat¡±, commercial hunting, and the meat of wild animals ... In addition, the mother chimpanzees were hunted, the little chimpanzees were stolen as pets and sold to other countries, and used as entertainment animals or circuses.

Jane Goodall said she knew she had to try and do something about it.

In order to save chimpanzees, Jane has turned from being an animal behavior scientist who studies chimpanzees to being an animal caregiver who calls for the world to protect chimpanzees.

She redefined the significance of species conservation for local people and environmental needs and explored community-centric conservation and development projects.In 1991, she and a group of Tanzanian youths founded Root and Bone to encourage young people to take care of the environment, protect animals, serve communities, and bring positive change to their communities or schools.

Jane Goodall said that their efforts worked, now flying over the globe from the globe will no longer see the mountains, the trees are regenerated, and the lands used for cultivation in the village are on the side, thus achieving the purpose of protecting the environment. They opened a corridor for the globe-isolated chimpanzees so that they could communicate with the southern chimpanzees, which also worked.

The events of Jane Goodall appear in textbooks.
