12 INTERVIEW Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, with Guy Kawasaki | TEDxPaloAltoSalon
14 nov 2018
On September 12th 2018, ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace, spoke at TEDxPaloAltoSalon. Dr. Goodall was in conversation with Guy Kawasaki.
Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London England. At the young age of 26, she followed her passion for animals and Africa to Gombe, Tanzania, where she began her landmark study of chimpanzees in the wild—immersing herself in their habitat as a neighbor rather than a distant observer. Her discovery in 1960 that chimps make and use tools rocked the scientific world and redefined the relationship between humans and animals.
In 1977, she established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to advance her work around the world and for generations to come. JGI continues the field research at Gombe and builds on Dr. Goodall’s innovative approach to conservation, which recognizes the central role that people play in the well-being of animals and the environment.
In 1991, she founded Roots & Shoots, a global program that guides young people in nearly 100 countries in becoming conservation activists and leaders in their daily lives. Today, Dr. Goodall travels the world, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees, environmental crises and her reasons for hope. In her books and speeches, she emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living things and the collective power of individual action.
Dr. Goodall is a UN Messenger of Peace and Dame Commander of the British Empire.

19 V.O. Complete. Life lessons of an indomitable spirit. Jane Goodall, primatologist
15 jan 2019 #AprendemosJuntos
Jane Goodall is considered one of the 20th Century’s most influential female scientists. Her eyes shine as she shares stories from her past, that become great life lessons about science and education for the present: “Be curious and make mistakes, be patient and do not give up,” repeats this extraordinary woman.
Goodall had a dream during her early years: to travel from her native England to Africa to be close to the animals and write about them. In 1960, at the age of 23, the famous anthropologist Louis Leakey, entrusted her with the risky mission of traveling to the jungle in Gombe, Tanzania, becoming the first person to observe and investigate chimpanzees in the wild. Accompanied by her mother, she started a six-month research project. Today, almost 60 years later, she continues to develop thanks to the team of researchers at the Jane Goodall Institute, which is one of the longest lasting field research missions on animals in the wild. Her research revolutionized the scientific community and fascinated the whole world. Her perseverance, intuition, empathy and capacity for observation have not only allowed us to discover the unknown world of chimpanzees and other species, but also invite us to reflect upon ourselves, promoting a more sustainable lifestyle and building a fairer society.

22 mei 2017
Dr. Jane Goodall explains to Ard Louis how the pet chimpanzee he had as a child when growing up in Gabon, Africa, might have died of a broken heart.
Part of a conversation for the ‘Why Are We Here?’ documentary series. https://www.whyarewehere.tv/

FIRST PART OF TRANSCRIPT
Ard: So, Jane, it’s an enormous pleasure for me to meet you. I’ve admired you from a distance for a long time. I want to tell you a little bit about my own story with chimpanzees. So I grew up in Gabon, in Central Africa, and my parents are biologists, and when I was about two – we lived in the jungle – the local hunters had shot a chimpanzee without realising that it had a little baby, a few weeks old, still clinging to its mother. So they brought it to us and my father bought it for its weight in sardines, and so we raised it with a bottle that was at home. You know, gave it a bottle and kind of raised it. He was like a brother to me. His name was Bertje. Here’s a picture of us in the back garden.
JG: You and Bertja?
Ard: Bertje, yeah.
JG: Bertje? Bertie?
Ard: Yeah, Bertie. Bertje is in Dutch. And he was like a brother to my sister and I. He’s just about two. I think he’s about two when I was about four, or maybe three. And it was just amazing having a chimpanzee.
JG: They’re so like children.
Ard: They’re so like children.
JG: But then what happened to him?
Ard: He lived with us for a few years and then when he was about five years old we brought him to a nature reserve where they tried to bring him back into the wild. But unfortunately he got ill at some point and he…
JG: This is the tragedy of these young chimps: very cute, very sweet and… There’s a pet trade in them now. It’s happened in the US where a man, a scientist, Kellogg, he actually brought up a chimp with his son, Donald, as an experiment. But then when the chimp stopped being cute and sweet, he was thrown into a lab and…
Ard: Oh, that’s really sad.
JG: The end is always sad.
Ard: Yeah, I was very sad. I mean, for us it wasn’t because he wasn’t… He was still cute and sweet. We were moving on, and so we…
JG: Yeah, well that’s the problem, and these humanised chimps, they can almost never be reintroduced.
Ard: Okay.
JG: No, unless they’re with a whole group.
Ard: Unless they’re brought in as a group?
JG: Yes.
Ard: So this was the President’s reserve, and the hope was that they would be able to reintroduce him back. I mean, he was a particularly intelligent… It doesn’t work?
JG: Very doubtful.
Ard: So what should we have done, then? Because he was a few weeks old and he would have died.
JG: Well, no. You did the right thing: you took him and you looked after him. There was nowhere for you to put that little chimp.
Ard: No, I felt very attached to it. I really thought he was like a brother, and we played and he was very… He liked to play hide-and-seek and… Here I have a photo of he and I playing together in the sand pit. He was just very, very, playful and… Here he is with my sister. He and my sister were exactly the same age, and they had a very close bond that I was actually a little jealous of.
So my mother says although we look different, we behaved remarkably similarly. You know, in the morning we fed him porridge and he’d eat with a spoon, which he didn’t actually really like. So if you turned around, he would eat with his hands.
JG: Yes.
Ard: And when you looked back he’d grab the spoon as if, ‘Of course, I’ve been eating with my spoon the entire time.’
David: That’s quite clever, isn’t it?
Ard: It’s really clever, yeah. He knew what was going on; he could sense things. One of his favourite things of all was to untie knots. So here we have a photo of him untying a shoe.
JG: Oh, yes, well that’s very typical chimp. Many, many zoo chimps, if they get the chance, they’ll spend a lot of time untying your shoes and trying to knot them again.
David: Really?
Ard: It’s amazing. In fact it used to bother me. I didn’t wear shoes that often, but if I did, he would grab them. And then I remember my mother said I once came in very upset because I said, ‘He’s taken my shoes off, but he has hands and feet.’ So I grabbed his hands and pulled them off, but he’d grab them with his feet and then… ‘It’s not fair! He’s got four hands.’
