<p>What is the most effective climate action we can take as an individual following this episode? Let’s ask Dr. Jane Goodall! Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and UN Messenger of Peace, is a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist, inspiring greater understanding, and action on behalf of the natural world.</p> <p>On 14th July 1960 Jane, age 26, arrived on the shores of Gombe in Tanzania to begin what became groundbreaking studies into the lives of wild chimpanzee communities. The discoveries that chimpanzees make and use tools forever changed our understanding of our relationship to the rest of the animal kingdom. This transformative research continues today as the longest running wild chimpanzee study in the world.</p> <p>Jane’s work builds on scientific innovations, growing a lifetime of advocacy including trailblazing efforts through her international organization of 24 Jane Goodall Institutes which advance community led conservation, animal welfare ongoing research and care for captive chimpanzees.</p> <p>In 1991 Jane founded Roots & Shoots, an environmental and humanitarian program with 12 high school students in Dar es Salaam. Now Jane Goodall’s Roots |& Shoots empowers young people of all ages to become involved in hands-on projects of their choosing and is active in 70 countries.</p> <p>Today, Jane travels approximately 300 days each year inspiring audiences worldwide through speaking tours, media engagements, written publications, and a wide array of film, television and podcast projects. In fact, this interview was the final one of Jane’s North American tour!</p> <p>Dr. Jane Goodall joined Earth Day Party hosts, Shannon Burns and Sarah Christie and shared a powerful message of reconnecting with nature. What does Jane mean when she says humans are the most intellectual creatures but not the most intelligent? Why is working with local communities a key component of nature conservation? Dr. Jane Goodall explains, plus, she offers hope when she relays success stories!</p> <p>Learn more about Dr. Jane Goodall here: <a href="http://janegoodall.org/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://janegoodall.org&source=gmail&ust=1745331848685000&usg=AOvVaw1VmeKEnD7hYkyrqyjYBEQq">janegoodall.org</a></p> <p>Learn more about the Roots & Shoots program here: <a href="http://rootsandshoots.org/" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://rootsandshoots.org&source=gmail&ust=1745331848685000&usg=AOvVaw0_VP4cfhu-V2ansybRXENl">rootsandshoots.org</a></p> <p>The Earth Day Party podcast is in support of <a href="https://fundraisers.wwf.ca/fundraisers/earthmonth">WWF-Canada</a>.
