hope for animals and their world by jane goodall

It’s one of my big complaints when I talk to the media: Yes, we absolutely need to know all the doom and gloom because we are approaching a crossroads, and if we don’t take action it could be too late. Have you ever wondered if tapping into those emotions might be useful? No. But all we have to do is look around to see the persuasiveness of stories built on fear and anger. The stories you tell about the planet and conservation have to do with instilling hope. I can’t do more, I don’t think, than I’m doing.” “You just plod on and do what you can to make the world a better place,” said Goodall, speaking via Zoom from her childhood home in Bournemouth, England, and whose “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times” will be published in October. She has spent 44 years leading conservation efforts through her Jane Goodall Institute and seeding the future with like-minded souls via the Roots & Shoots educational programs for young people, which can be found in more than 60 countries and have nurtured millions of students. While that work is likely to remain what the public primarily associates her with, Goodall’s career as an activist is arguably her more important legacy. Studying the chimpanzees of Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, she was the first to observe those entrancing animals eating meat and using tools, thus expanding our understanding of primate capabilities. Goodall, 87, first found fame in the early 1960s for her paradigm-busting work as a primatologist. These accounts of conservation success are inspirational.Wherever the story of our natural world ultimately lands, Jane Goodall will have earned a proud place in its telling.
