Acclaimed conservationist and chimpanzee expert Dr Jane Goodall DBE has died, leaving behind a legacy of empathy for primates and the natural world.
Goodall began studying chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania in 1960. She made monumental strides in understanding their behaviours and group dynamics. Over the following 65 years, she became not just an expert but an outspoken advocate, teaching the world about the similarities between humans and other primates and shedding light on the plight chimpanzees and other animals in the wild face from climate change, poaching and habitat destruction.
In 1977, she established her eponymous institute, @JaneGoodallinst a non-profit with the goal of studying and protecting primates and their habitats while increasing public understanding of the natural world.
