As anyone online likely knows, primatologist, conservationist, activist, author and reportedly all-around good egg Jane Goodall died yesterday. She was on a book tour, of all things, bringing her vision of a better world to those who would listen, and being an example of dedication and purpose for us all.
Dr. Jane was known around the world for her 65-year study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania. However, in the latter part of her life she expanded her focus and became a global advocate for human rights, animal welfare, species and environmental protection, and many other crucial issues.
I’m sad we lost her, and yet it’s lovely to be reminded that one person can do so much good.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
— Jane Goodall
