Weβre heartbroken to learn that Dr Jane Goodall has passed away, aged 91.
Dr Goodall was one of the true conservation giants of our time. Letβs honour her legacy by choosing to make a difference in the world - by protecting it.
Thank you, Jane, for everything you did for our planet. π

So sad - Jane Goodall fought for nature when it wasn't fashionable to do so and continued fighting when she knew she'd never see the better world she wanted. A true heroine.
