Wellington artist Tatyana Kulida has painted former prime minister Sir Bill English and world-renowned primatologist Dame Jane Goodall, and she joins Nights to appraise the new royal portrait.
Chimpanzee expert and animal rights campaigner, Dame Jane Goodall, is passionate about saving animals and the environment, but says she does not believe in direct action that disrupts people's everyday lives. Today's Martha Kearney talked with Dr Goodall about the impact her campaigns have had across generations, ahead of a new TV series called Jane's Animal Adventures, about a young girl inspired by Goodall's passion. Martha also discussed environmental protests like blocking traffic, which Goodall claims are ‘counterproductive' and don't encourage positive change. (Ian West/PA Wire)

Today we are delighted to welcome the legendary Dame Jane Goodall. A leading ethologist, conservationist, anthropologist and activist, Jane Goodall has been a beacon for the scientific and conservation community for decades. Her groundbreaking research and observations on chimpanzee behaviour at the Gombe National Park in Tanzania began as early as the 1960s. In 1977, she established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which carries on the Gombe research while also advocating for the protection of their natural habitats and spearheading innovative, community-centered conservation programs in Africa. Jane Goodall's activist work extends into raising awareness for the lives and wellbeing of all animals. She has campaigned for the ethical treatment of animals and has spoken against cruel and inhumane practices and medical testing on animals. Jane Goodall's latest book The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times, co-authored with bestselling author of The Book of Joy Douglas Abrams, was published at the end of last year. With a lifetime's worth of research and stories about our relationship to nature, the authors delve into the complex relationship that humankind has with the planet we inhabit. The book highlights the ways in which we can redefine that relationship by discovering and embracing hope in the face of the urgent climate crisis. In 2021, she also was awarded the Templeton Prize, and she currently continues to write and teach on conservation issues. We are beyond thrilled to have sat down with Jane Goodall for this enlightening conversation, discussing animal suffering, climate change, and the most powerful asset in our toolkit – hope.

I sat down and spoke to British Freelance Travel Writer, Lauren Jarvis about her career and her love for travel. Lauren and I discussed her life journey, which has led her to write about travel, wildlife, and conservation. We spoke about where that initial love for travel started. She mentioned her backpacking trip to Australia being a transformative moment. I spoke to Lauren about how she got started in writing and talked to me about what it takes to put in the research to write a good article. From the discussion, you will see it can take months to write a good story. Lauren's work has appeared in National Geographic Traveller (UK), National Geographic Traveler, The Times, The Daily Mail and The Independent. She spoke to me about her love for wildlife and writing about conservation. One of our discussion was based on zoos conservations. Her success has also led her to interview Sir David Attenborough's on three separate occasions, Dame Jane Goodall and Steve Backshall. We spoke about the state of travel journalism, and where it might go with the influx of influencers. We talked about whether technology has a part to play when it comes to writing. Lauren also spoke to me about some of her memorable places. She also talked to me about what she likes to do when the pen is down, and there is no travelling involved. Plus we discussed her plans for the future. I thoroughly enjoyed our talk. Lauren has had some significant success in her career, and I wish her the best of luck going forward.

60 years ago this week a young British woman called Jane Goodall entered the Gombe Stream National Park on the shores of Lake Tanganyika - where she made a discovery that changed our understanding of what it is to be human. She'd gone there to observe chimpanzees, our close relatives. But we didn't know just how much we have in common until Jane had studied them. Now 86, Dame Jane Goodall is still devoted to chimps, and campaigns for a more enlightened attitude towards them.

Fine Music Radio — Out of many remarkable and stand-out women in natural history and the environment movement I’m arbitrarily focusing on a few today, just to bring them to mind and acknowledge their amazing achievements, against all the usual odds, plus the dimension of gender discrimination. Jane Goodall, primatologist, anthropologist, activist and so much more. She made her breakthrough by single-mindedness and sheer determination, eventually persuading palaeontologist Louis Leakey to take her on as a secretary and go-fer. She had no particular education, but through the inspired encouragement of Leakey, became one of the acknowledged observers of primate behaviour and a campaigner for conservation and attitudes to the wild. She studied chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, and challenged contemporary science views that only mankind is capable of tool-making. She also established that chimpanzees are not exclusively vegetarians, but also hunters and meat-eaters. Some of her research methods were controversial and criticized by the purists, but she was – is - a dedicated campaigner for wider appreciation of the wild. She also discovered a dark side of chimpanzee behavior – aggression and violence. Which makes them even closer to us in terms of social similarities. I personally can never forget her electrifying presentation and immense impact as a motivational speaker. Dame Jane Goodall, heaped with deserved honours, still thankfully with us and very much alive.
Fascinating set of short interviews recorded at the 2013 Rotary International Convention in Lisbon, Portugal. Humanitarians from around the world discuss topics that address global issues: medical concerns including Alzheimer’s disease, polio eradication, better vision services; literacy needs; and problems facing the environment. Especially interesting is a fabulous interview with anthropologist and U.N. Messenger for Peace, Dame Jane Goodall. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/radiorotary/support
