"If each of us does our part, all the pieces of the puzzle come together and the world is a better place because of you.” — Dr. Jane Goodall

Dr. Jane Goodall went into the forest to study the remarkable lives of chimpanzees—and she came out of the forest to save them. When she discovered that the survival of their species was threatened by habitat destruction and illegal trafficking, she developed a breakthrough approach to species conservation that improves the lives of people, animals and the environment by honoring their connectedness to each other. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to ensure that her vision and life’s work continue to mobilize the collective power of individual action to save the natural world we all share. Your support helps us advance Jane’s vision and work around the world as a force of compassion for all living things.

The JGI's research continues the world's longest-running field research on chimpanzees, which Dr. Goodall began in 1960.

The JGI's work protects chimpanzees and other great apes from:
• Disease transmission
• Illegal hunting and poaching
• Human-wildlife conflict

The JGI's program Roots & Shoots encourages young people to participate in projects that protect the environment, wildlife, or their communities.
