Goodall\u2019s pioneering study of wild chimpanzees completely reshaped behavioural understandings of primates. <\/p>\n

She travelled to Gombe, Tanzania, in 1960, where she discovered chimpanzees used tools and expressed empathy for one another.<\/p>\n

The revolutionary findings proved primates have similar social behaviours to humans, capably developing their own personalities and complex interpersonal dynamics.<\/p>\n

She went on to found the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and her youth program Roots & Shoots in 1991, eventually establishing offices across the globe.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the institute said her work \u201ctransformed science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of the natural world\u201d.<\/p>\n

On her last visit to Aotearoa in 2024, Goodall urged Auckland school students to make ethical choices as consumers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Her final message, a video played for 1000 Californian students the day of her death, echoed this sentiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the… key thing is to realise that every day on this planet, you make a difference, and if you start thinking about the consequences of the small choices you make … what you buy, where did it come from, how was it made?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you start thinking like that, and millions of people around the world thinking like that, then we start to get the kind of world that we cannot be too embarrassed to leave to our children.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr Jane Goodall was an English ethologist and one of the world\u2019s foremost experts on chimpanzees.
