[Livesteam] Jane & Her: A Discussion on Women in Conservation

JANE & HER

2019/11/12

Named the "woman who redefined mankind" by National Geographic, Dr. Jane Goodall's pioneering study of the lives of chimpanzees in Tanzania nearly 60 years ago has changed the entire world's understanding of our environment. Her tireless efforts to make the world a better place for all living things has lead her on a legendary journey in becoming the foremost expert on chimpanzees, a Dame of the British Empire, and a UN Messenger of Peace.

But in addition to "redefining mankind," it is also important to recognize how Dr. Jane Goodall helped redefined women and the role that women play in the field of conservation and environmental protection.

Join us on Nov. 12 at 7:30pm for a livesteam conversation with the inspiring Dr. Jane Goodall and the Executive Director of Roots & Shoots and JGI as they reexamine the challenges that Dr. Goodall faced in her early career as a pioneering woman in a male-dominated industry nearly 60 years ago. They will also discuss the roles that men can play to better support women and how female empowerment can be the key to healthier communities and a more sustainable environment.

Jane Goodall PhD, DBE, founder - the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace, is a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist. Nearly 60 years ago, Jane Goodall first set foot onto the shores of what is today Tanzania’s Gombe National Park to begin her pioneering behavioural study into the lives of chimpanzees. In the past decades, this research has transformed scientific perceptions on the relationship between humans and animals, with her mission evolving into a quest to empower others to make the world a better place for all living things. 

In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute, a global leader in innovative conservation approaches that better the lives of local people living around chimpanzee habitats. Today, the Institute operates with 30 global offices supporting the research at Gombe in addition to innovative community-centered conservation projects, chimpanzee sanctuaries in Africa, and the Institute’s international youth program, Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, founded more than 25 years ago is now active in nearly 100 countries. Since 1986, Dr. Goodall has traveled nearly 300 days a year on a perpetual world speaking tour. She is a United Nations Messenger of Peace and Dame of the British Empire. Her many awards and honors are simply too numerous to list.
