Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist and conservationist, has passed away at 91. Her team announced her death from natural causes in California, where she was scheduled to speak.
Goodall's groundbreaking research on chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, revealed complex social dynamics and behaviors similar to humans. "Their behavior, with their gestures, kissing, embracing, holding hands and patting on the back," she said, "is how like us they are."
The Jane Goodall Institute will continue her mission, advocating for the protection and restoration of our natural world. "We will honor her legacy by continuing her important work," the institute stated.
Goodall's legacy will inspire future generations to value compassion, conservation, and the preservation of our planet's precious resources. As she said, "We have to be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves."
