Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, conservationist, and environmental activist, passed away at the age of 91 on October 1, 2025.
A trailblazer for women in science, Dr. Goodall first made her mark in the 1960s while researching chimpanzees in Tanzania, revealing their intelligence and intricate community structures. She went on to advocate for the natural world in all its forms and encouraged humanity to recognize our role in being good stewards to our one and only home, Earth.
The Jane Goodall Institute writes, “Dr. Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, was a remarkable example of courage and conviction, working tirelessly throughout her life to raise awareness about threats to wildlife, promote conservation, and inspire a more harmonious, sustainable relationship between people, animals and the natural world.”
We invite you to join us in remembering Dr. Goodall for her extraordinary life, her important environmental work, and her fierce dedication to improving the lives of people and animals wherever they live.
