About Me:
It’s been nearly fifty years since I first set foot in Africa as a young woman and befriended the wild chimpanzees at Gombe. The world has changed greatly since then and now our planet is in a precarious state, facing species extinction, widespread poverty and global warming, among other threats. But I do have hope. I firmly believe in our ability to change our course and protect the fate of our planet. Every individual makes a difference and once people realize that they are needed by the world to make it better, I know that they will step up to the challenge.

Hello Dr Jane...like so many here I met you on one of your many tours (Sudbury, Ontario) and felt compelled to let you know what an inspiration you are to everyone who has had the good fortune to hear you speak. You give us all the necessary hope and encouragement to believe...

Hi wish you happy & prosperous new year , Shailesh here from India working in the field of Conservation from last 8 years for NGO ---Pugmark Wildlife Foundation.
In India there are so many superstitions regarding with the snakes actually snakes are Holy Creature for Indians but some time snake intrudes human areas so humans killed them. There is smuggling & illegal business of snake poison & snake skin by poachers . So we are fighting for saving snakes from humans & running awareness projects on snake also. Tiger is the endangered species, we are concentrating now to save Tigers .

Hi Dr. Goodall,

I wanted to thank you for your amazing work on behalf of chimpanzees. Your life experiences have taught me that it is not only possible but also imperative for me to reach my goal of working at a chimpanzee sanctuary. To some people, that's a crazy idea, but to me it will soon be reality. I have finally decided to give up my "normal" job and move across the country in order to pursue the very important task of making life better for all chimpanzees, but especially those who have had such horrible experiences in captivity at the hands of greedy humans. There is no other cause that I care about more, and I have no qualms about drastically changing my life in order to make this happen.

Your wisdom and positive, peaceful energy are a huge inspiration to me. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the chance to hear you speak in person, but it is one of my life goals to meet you someday. I WILL make it happen! I look forward to that day.

Thank you for all you do and inspiring us all to continue your work.

Sincerely,
Erika Walter
Connecticut - soon to be Florida, USA :)
