Dr. Jane Goodall is a world-renowned primatologist, conservationist and humanitarian, as well as the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute. She became famous for introducing us to our closest animal relative, the chimpanzee, through her work in Tanzania which started in 1960. Today, the chimpanzee is critically endangered and in the absence of swift action could be extinct within a generation.
