We’re deeply saddened by the passing of pioneering primatologist & conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall (1934–2025). Her work at Gombe revealed chimp tool use and rich social lives, sparking global conservation through the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots. Thank you—your hope and legacy endure.

Jane Goodall Institute of Canada @janegoodallcan.bsky.social · 25d

Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.

She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.
