Chimpanzee Researcher Jane Goodall Supports Projects Benefiting People and Wildlife Living in Endangered African Forest Areas

Excerpt of speech by Jane Goodall, delivered at Yale University May 10 produced by Melinda Tuhus

Jane Goodall is the internationally known chimpanzee researcher who began her work 45 years ago in the forests of Gombe in what is now Tanzania. Goodall travels around the world 300 days a year, addressing what she and other researchers have learned about animal behavior, the degradation of the environment threatening all life on Earth and growing efforts to combat environmental ills.

On May 10, Dr. Goodall spoke to an enthusiastic audience of several hundred adults and children at Yale University. She talked about her research and how her work has evolved over the decades, through the Jane Goodall Institute to support projects that directly benefit the local human population of the region in Africa where she works.

For more information on Dr. Goodall's projects, including Roots and Shoots, a program for young people now operating in 91 nations, call the Jane Goodall Institute in Silver Spring, Md. at (240) 645-4000 or visit their website at www.janegoodall.org
