In July 1960, Jane arrived in what is now Gombe, Tanzania, to study wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries, including that chimpanzees make and use tools, changed science and redefined what it means to be human.

After learning about the threats facing chimpanzees, Jane shifted her focus from science to advocacy. She launched JGI's community-led conservation appraoch, Tacare, championed best-in-class animal welfare practices — including opening JGI's sanctuary, Tchimpounga — and later traveled the world nearly 300 days a year to spread her message of hope for our planet.

Jane reminded us that we all have the power to make a difference, and she especially believed in the power of young people to change the world. One of her greatest legacies is the youth program Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots, which supports young people in 75 countries and counting as they make a positive difference.

Jane's groundbreaking work continues, and it is up to us to uphold her legacy. Join us in celebrating Jane on April 3rd by taking action for people, other animals, and our shared planet.
