Founded by renowned ethologist and conservationist Jane Goodall, the Jane Goodall Institute is a global organisation that empowers people to make a difference for all living things.
On 14th July 2020, the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) will honour the 60th anniversary of the day that Dr Jane Goodall first arrived in Gombe, Tanzania, to begin her ground-breaking study of wild chimpanzees.
Over the last six decades, Dr Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) have established and maintained what is now the longest running study of wild chimpanzees in the world.
Jane Goodall: The Hope Premiered 22nd April
‘Jane Goodall: The Hope' premiered on 22nd April at 8pm on National Geographic channel (Sky, Virgin, BT) and streaming on Disney+.
This new documentary moves past Jane the scientist and showcases Dr Goodall’s life as an activist and conservationist. From her work to end invasive medical testing on chimpanzees, to establishing community-led conservation programmes across the chimpanzee range, to global efforts to empower young people to improve their communities for people, other animals and the environment we share. This new documentary will leave you with hope, as well as a sense of how your support of our work is more important than ever.
