Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars, and her fascination with wildlife, Jane Goodall braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into humankind’s closest living relatives. Through nearly 60 years of groundbreaking work, Dr. Jane Goodall has not only shown us the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction; she has also redefined species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment.

In this episode of Impact in the 21st Century, hear about Jane’s childhood, how she revolutionized scientific understanding of chimpanzees, key learnings from her experience, and steps that you can take to feel more hopeful in your life.
