Happy 80th birthday to esteemed British primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall! A pioneer in the study of chimpanzee behavior, Dr. Goodall is known worldwide for her animal welfare and conservation efforts, and the establishment of the Jane Goodall Institute. She has been named Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire and a UN Messenger of Peace.
The Jane Goodall Institute, founded in 1977, is a non-profit that works to increase global awareness and understanding about the natural world, and in particular the lives and habitats of primates. To this day, Goodall travels to Gombe at least once a year, and eagerly encourages the involvement of youth internationally, in particular with JGI's "Roots and Shoots" program.
