Introduction:

Over 60 years ago, Jane Goodall first set foot onto the shores of what is today Tanzania’s Gombe National Park to begin her pioneering chimpanzee behavioural studies. In the last six decades, this research has transformed scientific perceptions of the relationship between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. Today, Jane’s mission has evolved into a quest to empower every individual to make the world a better place for people, other animals, and the planet we share. Dr. Jane Goodall, a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist, will share with us the stories of how she inspires hope through action.

Jane has been a friend of KFBG for many years, visited our nature reserve and presented at our premises. We are very pleased to have her back at KFBG, even though it is online, and we hope you can join her talk!
