On October 1, the world bid farewell to renowned primatologist and UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall, who passed away in California at 91. With boundless curiosity and compassion, she unveiled a secret world: chimpanzees have names, feelings and thoughts. 💫
Embracing Our Cousins in the Wild 🐵
In 1960, Goodall arrived at Gombe Stream National Park with little more than a notebook and a dream. Over decades, she observed moments of laughter, sorrow and creativity among chimps—proving they’re more like us than we ever imagined.
The Bond of Respect 🌿
In an earlier interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei, Goodall reminded everyone that respect and understanding build the true bond between people and nature. Her words still echo today, urging us to protect our planet with empathy.
A Legacy That Inspires 🌟
From activist youth planting trees to researchers decoding animal minds, Jane’s influence spans generations. Her ideas fuel global conservation efforts, NGOs and grassroots movements fighting for wildlife.
As we say goodbye to this icon, let’s honor her by seeing the world through kinder eyes. Because every creature deserves respect, and every action can spark change. 🌍✨
