The Story of Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. As a child, she loved animals and dreamed of going to Africa to study them. In 1960, at the age of 26, she traveled to Tanzania to study chimpanzees in the wild.

She watched them make and use tools, hug and kiss each other, and form close family bonds. Her discoveries changed how people see animals.

In 1977, she started the Jane Goodall Institute to support wildlife research and conservation. She also began a program called Roots & Shoots to teach young people to care for the environment.
