Jane Goodall

Don't miss the new biography of Jane Goodall by Dale Peterson. This is the first official biography of this remarkable woman who has made significant advances in the field of primatology and in conservation. Her research on chimps in Tanzania revolutionized what we know about primate behavior.

She is the founder of the youth-driven Roots & Shoots, a program of the Jane Goodall Institute (don't miss the Gombe Chimpanzee Blog on this page.) A goal of the Jane Goodall Institute is to encourage and enable people to work on conservation efforts in a united way. Ms Goodall is also affiliated with Western Connecticut State University. She will give a lecture on April 27, 2007 in Danbury.
