Farewell to Jane Goodall — The Woman Who Taught Humanity to Listen 

At 91, the world bids farewell to Jane Goodall, a trailblazing scientist whose profound discoveries forever reshaped the way we see the natural world — and ourselves.

In 1960, armed with nothing but a notebook, binoculars, and an unyielding curiosity, Jane ventured into the heart of the Gombe forests. There, she made groundbreaking discoveries that shook the scientific community — chimpanzees using tools, expressing grief, love, and empathy. Through her eyes, humanity was awakened to a truth we had long ignored: we are not as separate from nature as we once believed.

As the forests grew quieter, Jane’s voice grew louder.

Through the Jane Goodall Institute and her beloved Roots & Shoots program, she inspired generations of young people to become stewards of the Earth — showing us that hope is not just an emotion, but a call to action.

Her words will continue to resonate through every forest, every environmental movement, and every act of kindness to our planet:
“Every individual matters. Every individual makes a difference.”
