Jane Goodall, the British ethologist and anthropologist known worldwide for her studies of chimpanzees, has died in California at the age of 91 of natural causes, the institute that bears her name, which for decades was the center of international efforts for nature conservation and environmental education, confirmed.
Goodall was born in London in 1934 and from childhood was drawn to animal life and nature. In the early 1960s she traveled to Tanzania, where she began research that would revolutionize the world of science. In Gombe Stream National Park she documented for the first time the complex behavior of chimpanzees, proving that they too use tools, create social structures and show emotions. This discovery forever changed the way the relationship between humans and animals is understood.
In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which has grown into one of the most recognized organizations for the conservation of endangered species and the protection of ecosystems. Through her environmental education program “Roots & Shoots,” she inspired millions of young people around the world to commit to small changes in their daily lives that bring about a large collective impact.
In addition to her scientific contributions, Goodall became a powerful voice for the protection of the planet and animal rights, traveling the world, writing books, and giving conferences to packed audiences. She received dozens of international awards and honors, being considered one of the most important scientific figures of the last century.
With her passing, the world loses an icon of nature protection, but her legacy remains alive in scientific research, environmental movements, and the endless generations she inspired to see animals not just objects of study, but sentient beings with a right to exist.
