Jane Goodall

Goodall became famous in the 1960s for her pioneering field work in Gombe, Tanzania. She was considered a pioneer not only because of her discoveries, but also because she was one of the few female scientists at the time. Later, her focus shifted from science to climate activism. She tirelessly warned against the rapid degradation of habitats and advocated for urgent climate action. Her entire life revolved around compassion for people, animals and nature, and the belief that each of us can make a difference.

Through her work, Goodall showed the strength of the bond between humans and nature. Her legacy remains a call to care for what is vulnerable.

Our sympathies are with her family and loved ones.
