Jane Goodall – 1934 Jane Goodall discovered her great passion – animals – as a child. At the age of ten she read the book “Tarzan and the Apes” and from then on it was all about the British girl. She wanted to know everything about the animals and the continent of Africa. Her big dream of going to Africa came true in 1957 after a former schoolmate invited her to travel to Kenya. There she got a job at the “Kenya National Museum”. In 1960 she began researching chimpanzees in what is now known as Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. Her observations were full of new insights, so the University of Cambridge admitted the unstudied, trained secretary to a doctorate in ethology, which she successfully completed in 1965. In 1977, the behavioral scientist founded the “Jane Goodall Institute” to protect primates and habitats. In 1991, the children’s and youth organization “Roots & Shoots” was added to educate children about nature and environmental protection. Jane Goodall lived with wild chimpanzees for 25 years and made an immense contribution to behavioral research.
