Event Info
Dr Jane Goodall is a primatologist who started her career by studying chimpanzees. She became known as “the woman who redefined Man” when she discovered that chimpanzees also fashioned & used tools (which was thought to be something only Man did). Later, she became a conservationist to protect the chimpanzees she love as well as other animals. She realised the solution lies with looking at the three areas of environment, animals, and people, and has been spreading the message of conservation in the three areas since. Dr Jane is also optimistic about our future and firmly believes that young people can make that difference, and we need to help them do so. She catalysed the formation of Roots & Shoots, a ground-up movement for young people to contribute via service learning projects.Come hear Dr Jane Goodall speak and be inspired by her to take action and make a difference!
