Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian, died on October 1 at the age of 91. Goodall was born in London in 1934, and her curiosity about the natural world led her to the forests of Gombe, Tanzania, where she made groundbreaking observations of chimpanzee behavior, including tool use. Her research challenged the accepted scientific perceptions of our closest relatives.Host Ira Flatow shares his memories of Dr. Goodall, including an interview from 2002 in which she discussed her life and work.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Jane Goodall transformed the way we understand animals, conservation, and our place in nature. In this special tribute episode of How to Protect the Ocean, I reflect on Dr. Goodall's incredible legacy and what her life's work teaches us about empathy, science, and hope. From living with chimpanzees in Gombe to influencing ocean storytelling today, her impact spans generations and ecosystems. Jane showed us that animals are not resources, but individuals with emotions, intelligence, and culture. She taught us to listen, to observe, and to act. Jane Goodall's work didn't end with primates. Her vision of conservation included youth, community, and global collaboration. She helped shape marine and terrestrial protection efforts, inspired countless scientists (especially women), and changed how we use emotional connection to inspire action. Even at 91, she was on a speaking tour, still using her voice to make the world better. This episode unpacks what she gave us and how we carry that legacy forward especially in ocean conservation.

Esta tarde se ha conocido la noticia del fallecimiento, a los 91 años, de la primatóloga Jane Goodall. Su labor durante más de seis décadas ha dejado una huella indeleble en nuestra comprensión de los animales y ha inspirado la curiosidad, la esperanza y la compasión de personas de todo el mundo. La Dra. Goodall llegó al Parque Nacional de Gombe, en Tanzania, en el año 1960, cuando era una veinteañera, y allí se convirtió en la pionera en el estudio de campo de los chimpancés salvajes. Pero el impacto de Goodall no se limita al estudio de los grandes primates, sino que más tarde se extendió también con su trabajo de divulgación sobre la protección de la biodiversidad y el futuro del planeta. Esta madrugada hemos querido contar en 'El Faro' con una persona que la conoció de cerca a nivel profesional, pero también personal: Federico Bogdanowicz, director del Instituto Jane Goodall en España y Senegal

Jane Goodall passed away at the age of 91. To honor her immense legacy, we wanted to share the extraordinary conversation she and Julia had one year ago. On the Season 3 premiere of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down with visionary scientist and conservationist Jane Goodall. The pair discuss Jane’s trailblazing work in Gombe, and how she uses storytelling to drive change. Plus, Julia and her mom Judith discuss the thrilling prospect of surviving a camping trip, courtesy of Julia’s bestie, Paula—because what better way to bond than trying to survive in the wilderness?

Cestovatel Tadeáš Šíma se na své cyklo výpravě napříč africkým kontinentem zastavil na několik dní ve městě Kigoma u jezera Tanganika v Tanzánii. Právě tady totiž v 60. letech minulého století začala světoznámá bioložka Jane Goodallová zkoumat primáty, konkrétně člověku blízce příbuzné šimpanze. V pouhých 30 kilometrů čtverečních velkém národním parku Gombe přístupném pouze lodí jich tu dnes žije na sedm desítek.Všechny díly podcastu Seriál Radiožurnálu můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

En République démocratique du Congo, direction, La vie est belle à Kinshasa. Une résidence artistique en plein cœur de la capitale congolaise où peintres, sculpteurs et musiciens se rencontrent. Le lieu a été impulsé par Eddy Ekete, artiste plasticien connu pour ses performances dans des costumes géants dans les rues de Kinshasa. Reportage Aurélie Bazzara-Kibangula. De notre correspondante à Kinshasa, Avec des airs de rumba du groupe Bakolo, le temps s'arrête au centre Ndaku ya-La vie est belle à Matonge. Le groupe d'anciens musiciens y répète toutes les semaines. Le centre culturel est ouvert et accueille tous les artistes. Une résidence conviviale gérée par le sculpteur Eddy Ekete. « C'est une maison coloniale de la première femme qui a obtenu le permis de conduire dans tout le Congo et elle, elle travaillait avec son mari qui est l'oncle de papa Wemba. C'est pour cela, le film La vie est belle, il y a un petit morceau qui s'est fait ici », raconte Eddy Ekete Ndaku ya-La vie est belle est un musée à ciel ouvert. Partout sur les murs sont accrochés des toiles, parfois inachevées, de l'artiste Dolet, des dessins d'étudiants, des graffitis. Il y a aussi des dizaines de costumes aux allures de bibendums géants faits de déchets. Ces créations ont fait la réputation d'Eddy Ekete. « C'est aussi une sculpture et on peut aussi la porter et ça devient une sculpture vivante. Et quand on marche, des fois ça fait peur aux gens parce qu'une statue, quand ça bouge, ça impressionne, ça fait du bruit, raconte-t-il. On se rend compte, c'est la surconsommation de l'Occident qui se contamine aussi ici. Mais on ne se rend pas compte que si on ne travaille pas les déchets, on ne peut pas savoir pourquoi il y a toutes ces maladies, pourquoi il y a tous ces insectes. Parce que la poubelle, c'est un endroit, on vient, on jette seulement et après, on tourne le dos vite. Et maintenant, ce que nous, on fait, c'est que les gens regardent la poubelle », explique Eddy Ekete. Un espace « focalisé sur la Gombe », où l'art rencontre son public « Donc là, il y a une multitude de costumes. Il y en a de toutes formes. Il y a des caoutchoucs. Là, il y a les gobelets d'usage unique, là où on vend des boissons fortes. Il y a des claviers d'ordinateur. Voilà, ce sont des trucs qui traînent dans les rues de Kinshasa », détaille l'un des gérants du lieu. Si le centre veut booster la créativité des artistes, c'est aussi un espace où l'art rencontre son public. « Ici tout est focalisé dans la commune de la Gombe. Du coup, la culture n'est pas décentralisée. Nous, on s'est dit, pourquoi pas avoir une miniature du centre culturel dans la cité ? Les concerts de musique, les spectacles de ballet. Matonge c'est la capitale culturelle », explique Christian Miki Mundiri, membre du collectif. Le centre Ndaku ya-La vie est belle est ouvert aux enfants. Des ateliers y sont organisés avec les artistes. Pour Eddy Ekete, l'important, c'est de transmettre le gout de la création aux futures générations : « Moi, je leur fournis des feutres, des crayons de couleur, des feuilles, mais par terre. Et ça, c'est pour montrer et aux parents et aux autorités, les enfants, là, ils ont besoin de quelque chose parce qu'ils sont concentrés. On garde les enfants des heures et des heures, sans faire du bruit, sans qu'on leur dise quoi que ce soit. Mais je suis sûr puisqu'en fait, c'est quand même la génération qui va nous remplacer. » À Matonge, les différentes générations se côtoient entre musique et art plastique, signant un passage de témoin pour les créateurs de Ndaku Ya-La vie est belle pour continuer d'alerter sur les dangers des déchets en ville.

Nigeria's FAAC funds are soaring to new heights, with a staggering ₦4.95 trillion allocated in the first quarter of 2025 alone. By June, monthly allocations had skyrocketed to ₦1.818 trillion. But amidst this unprecedented bonanza, Nigerians are scratching their heads, wondering: where's the impact? Despite the record-breaking funds, citizens are still grappling with crumbling infrastructure, inadequate social services, and economic hardship. What's going wrong? In this episode of Nigeria Daily, we dive into the disconnect between fattening FAAC coffers and the harsh realities on the ground. We'll explore the root causes of this paradox and ask the tough questions: what's holding back development? And what needs to change for Nigerians to reap the benefits of these record allocations?

RO 051 25, c'est le numéro du copieux dossier sur lequel les juges de la haute cour militaire du palais de justice de la Gombe vont devoir se pencher. « Une étape judiciaire inédite », raconte le site d'informations Les volcans news, fruit d'une procédure enclenchée par le parquet général militaire après la levée de son immunité parlementaire par le Sénat en mai dernier. Car Kabila est sénateur à vie, un titre qui lui permettait de passer entre les gouttes de la justice jusqu'à ce que le pouvoir en place en décide autrement et que ses collègues sénateurs ne votent en ce sens. Les chefs d'accusation font froid dans le dos : « les plus lourds jamais instruits contre une ancienne figure présidentielle en RDC », poursuit le site d'information Les volcans news, participation à un mouvement insurrectionnel, des crimes de guerre, des crimes contre l'humanité, de la trahison, de l'apologie d'actes criminels, du viol, de la torture, de l'homicide volontaire ou encore de la déportation. Alors que reproche-t-on exactement à l'ancien chef d'État ? « Un soutien présumé à la rébellion de l'Alliance fleuve congo/M23 », détaille la radio congolaise Ouragan et de poursuivre, « le parquet militaire l'accuse de trahison pour avoir entretenu des intelligences avec une puissance étrangère, en l'occurrence le Rwanda ». Celui qui est resté au pouvoir pendant deux décennies se voit désormais accusé d'avoir voulu aider une puissance étrangère à renverser le pouvoir de Kinshasa. « Rien n'indique toutefois que Kabila qui ne s'est pas présenté devant le Sénat lors de la levée de son immunité parlementaire sera présent à son procès », tempère EcoNews RDC. Un procès qui s'inscrit selon le site d'information dans la stratégie affichée du président Tshisekedi de déboulonner le système de son prédécesseur, une promesse électorale désormais concrétisée. Kabila une variable d'ajustement dans les négociations en cours à Doha ? « Il sera pris en charge par l'accord de paix négocié directement entre ses hommes et nous. Nous ne pensons pas lui réserver de traitement particulier », détaille Jacquemain Shabani, vice premier ministre et ministre de l'Intérieur, dans les colonnes de Jeune Afrique. « Ses hommes ? Ce sont ceux de la rébellion AFC/M23 », affirme Jacquemain Shabani. Sur la toile, poursuit EcoNews RDC, les partisans dénoncent le martyr que vit leur leader : « effacer un homme comme Joseph Kabila de la scène publique ne peut se faire ni par la force ni par la manipulation de la justice ».

Entre 1974 y 1978, el Parque Nacional de Gombe, en Tanzania, fue escenario de un conflicto sin precedentes entre dos comunidades de chimpancés: los Kasakela y los Kahama. Este enfrentamiento, conocido como la "Guerra de los Cuatro Años", se originó tras la escisión de un grupo del clan Kasakela, que formó la comunidad Kahama en el sur del territorio.

Até dia 22 de Novembro, os países reunidos na COP29 em Baku, no Azerbaijão, tentam encontrar o financiamento necessário para ajudar os países em desenvolvimento na transição energética e na adaptação às catástrofes climáticas. Actualmente, os Estados extremamente frágeis recebem apenas cerca de 2 dólares por pessoa em financiamento anual para adaptação climática, um valor muito aquém dos 161 dólares por pessoa atribuídos nos Estados não frágeis. Até dia 22 de Novembro, os países reunidos na COP29 em Baku, no Azerbaijão, tentam encontrar o financiamento necessário para ajudar os países em desenvolvimento na transição energética e na adaptação às catástrofes climáticas. Negociações difíceis numa COP marcada por ausências de peso, como a França, Alemanha ou Estados Unidos e com o ocidente a alegar dificuldades orçamentais. Segundo um relatório do ACNUR apresentado esta semana, actualmente, os Estados extremamente frágeis recebem apenas cerca de 2 dólares por pessoa em financiamento anual para adaptação climática, um valor muito aquém dos 161 dólares por pessoa atribuídos nos Estados não frágeis.As alterações climáticas já forçaram milhões de pessoas, em todo o mundo, a abandonarem as suas casas e o aquecimento global do planeta está a agravar as condições já “infernais” enfrentadas por estes deslocados. O alerta é da agência da ONU para os Refugiados e consta do relatório “No Escape: On the Frontlines of Climate, Conflict and Displacement" ("Sem escapatória - Na linha da frente do clima, conflitos e deslocações”, numa tradução livre), apresentado na terça-feira, 12 de Novembro, na COP 29 em Baku.À margem do segmento de alto nível da Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Alterações Climáticas, o Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Refugiados (ACNUR) aproveitou para lembrar como o aumento das temperaturas e a multiplicação dos fenómenos meteorológicos extremos impactam a vida dos refugiados e dos deslocados. O ACNUR apela a investimentos mais significativos e eficazes.No documento, a agência das Nações Unidas para os Refugiados sublinha que as alterações climáticas e os conflitos estão interligados, sujeitando as pessoas já em perigo a situações ainda piores, como no Sudão, na Somália ou na Birmânia.“No nosso mundo em aquecimento, a seca, as inundações, o calor mortal e outros fenómenos meteorológicos extremos criam situações de emergência com uma frequência alarmante”, ressalva o chefe do ACNUR, Filippo Grandi, no prefácio do relatório. “As pessoas forçadas a fugir dos seus lares estão na linha da frente desta crise”, acrescenta.O documento indica que 75% dos deslocados vivem em países fortemente ou extremamente expostos aos riscos climáticos e “à medida que a velocidade e a escala das alterações climáticas aceleram, este número só continuará a aumentar”.Dados recentes do Centro de Monitorização de Deslocados Internos referem que os desastres meteorológicos forçaram cerca de 220 milhões de pessoas a fugir dentro dos seus países na última década. O ACNUR lamenta a grave falta de fundos para apoiar os que fogem e as comunidades que os acolhem: “Estamos a ver uma situação que já é infernal a tornar-se ainda mais difícil”.Até 2040, o número de países em todo o mundo expostos a riscos climáticos extremos deverá passar de três para 65, a grande maioria destes países acolhe populações deslocadas. Até 2050, a maioria dos campos e instalações de refugiados deverá enfrentar o dobro dos dias com temperaturas perigosamente elevadas em comparação com hoje, alerta o relatório do ACNUR. Um perigo imediato para a saúde e a vida dos refugiados, mas também para as colheitas e o gado.As alterações climáticas vão também piorar a já difícil situação humanitária na África Austral, onde se situam Angola e Moçambique, avança o mesmo relatório.Isadora Zoni, responsável do ACNUR em Pemba, norte de Moçambique, sublinha que 75% dos deslocados vivem em países forte ou extremamente expostos aos riscos climáticos. Em entrevista à RFI, a responsável da agência da ONU deu conta das linhas gerais do documento agora publicado e traçou uma radiografia do actual estado dos deslocados em Moçambique.RFI: Quais são as linhas gerais deste relatório?Isadora Zoni: Falamos de 120 milhões de pessoas que estão deslocadas à força globalmente, o dobro da última década. 75% dessas pessoas vivem em países com exposição alta a extrema a desastres climáticos. Os desastres climáticos causaram 200 milhões de deslocamentos internos na última década, o que equivale a cerca de 60 mil deslocamentos por dia. Então, quando falamos de clima, estamos a tratar também das pessoas deslocadas, também das pessoas que são forçadas a fugir. Por exemplo, sobre a África: a mudança climática é a maior ameaça hoje ao desenvolvimento no continente africano, ocupando desproporcionalmente os países mais pobres e agravando outros factores e fragilidades. Embora a África contribua minimamente para as emissões globais enfrenta graves impactos climáticos. Essa situação destaca tanto a vulnerabilidade quanto o potencial de resiliência do continente, à medida que se adapta e transita para um desenvolvimento de baixo carbono. O relatório do ACNUR indica que estados extremamente frágeis recebem apenas 2 dólares por pessoa anualmente em financiamento para adaptação, enquanto Estados não frágeis recebem 161 dólares, evidenciando uma disparidade no financiamento climático global. Quando falamos desse tema, a importância para o ACNUR é, realmente, que as pessoas deslocadas, refugiadas ou deslocadas internas, façam parte dessa discussão, sejam parte desses meios e desses espaços políticos, para que discutam também o sistema climático e como isso afecta o dia-a-dia delas. Além dos efeitos evidentes, que são as inundações, as chuvas torrenciais, etc… há outras questões como, por exemplo, a seca, que é um efeito das alterações climáticas e que faz com que as pessoas também se desloquem, além de provocar conflitos.A exemplo disso, no relatório, diz-se que até 2050 a maioria dos campos de refugiados experimentará o dobro dos dias de calor perigoso, acima de 41 graus Celsius, afectando mais de 600 locais globalmente.Quando falamos da questão climática, é claro que talvez ao público é mais evidente aqueles que são os impactos directos, as enchentes, os grandes deslocamentos, mas temos que também penar como é que a questão climática agrava já um cenário bastante duro.Em África, o conflito no Sudão deslocou mais de 11 milhões de pessoas, com o Chade a abrigar 70 mil refugiados sudaneses. Além das dificuldades da resposta humanitária, o Chade é um dos países mais vulneráveis a riscos climáticos.Outros exemplos são as secas e inundações no Quénia, na Somália e na Etiópia. Em 2022, por exemplo, 1,3 milhões de pessoas foram deslocadas na Somália devido à seca. Olhando para o sul de África, vemos em Moçambique secas prolongadas, intensificando a migração rural-urbano, e as pressões climáticas aumentando os riscos de conflitos ao longo do corredor migratório, como em Moçambique e na África do Sul. Infelizmente, o cenário parece estar cada vez mais difícil porque os países que enfrentam riscos climáticos extremos devem aumentar de três para 65 até 2040, muitos dos quais hospedam populações deslocadas. Está baseada em Pemba, em Moçambique, um dos países mais vulnerável às alterações climáticas. Qual é a situação actual? Realmente, Moçambique está entre os 10 países mais vulneráveis às alterações climáticas no mundo e ocupa o primeiro lugar em África. O país sofre cada vez mais com a grande variabilidade climática, estando exposto a ciclones tropicais, inundações e secas. Apenas um ano após o ciclone Gombe, que deslocou 130 mil pessoas, o ciclone Fred atingiu Moçambique, afectando oito das dez províncias do país. Deslocou aproximadamente 184 mil pessoas e deixou 1,1 milhão de pessoas necessitando de assistência humanitária. Mais recentemente, agora em 2024, a tempestade tropical Filipo deslocou 48 mil pessoas e causou extensos danos em infra-estruturas, incluindo estradas, centros de saúde e habitações. O cenário é bastante complicado, porque falamos também de um país que, infelizmente, conta com deslocados devido ao conflito [ataques terroristas no norte]. Em Janeiro de 2024, Moçambique contava com mais de 700 mil deslocados internos devido a conflitos e eventos relacionados com o clima. Os deslocados são particularmente vulneráveis aos choques climáticos, muitas vezes carecendo de recursos e apoio para se adaptar. A população deslocada, especialmente no norte e centro de Moçambique, enfrenta riscos de protecção elevados devido à insegurança alimentar e às limitadas opções de subsistência. Quando falamos, por exemplo, dos impactos [dos fenómenos climáticos], referimo-nos à infra-estrutura precária dos locais de deslocados internos, com estradas e drenagens inadequadas, que expõe os moradores a um risco contínuo. O desmatamento também é um problema significativo, pois os moradores dependem da lenha e de materiais de construção insustentáveis. Isso aumenta a erosão do solo, agravando os riscos de enchentes e danos ambientais.Apesar da insegurança contínua, Moçambique tem um outro movimento, que é o movimento de retorno. É um contexto bastante activo de pessoas que se deslocam e de outras pessoas que tentam regressar, mas que vivem expostas a uma situação bastante imprevisível, tanto climática quanto em relação ao conflito. Traçado este cenário, o que é que se poderia esperar desta COP? Mais financiamento?Eu acho que existe uma expectativa de que haja maior financiamento, maior responsabilidade dos países que poluem para com aqueles que são os mais vulneráveis. Nós também precisamos entender a componente humana que faz parte da questão climática. Muito se fala sobre mercado de carbono, sobre poluidores e poluídos, quanto tempo temos e se temos tempo. Mas devemos voltar a trazer essa questão humana, das pessoas que são afectadas, como as pessoas mais vulneráveis são cada vez mais afectadas? A questão humanitária não se restringe somente ao assistencialismo, mas em como pensar isso de uma perspectiva de desenvolvimento, numa perspectiva de investimento.Eu acho que é uma oportunidade para trazermos essas pessoas para o centro dessa discussão, para que elas possam também estar empoderadas e incluídas, para falarem sobre suas necessidades, prover evidências para que fique claro onde e como as intervenções podem ser feitas, para que exista um impacto real.

Welcome back folks! Today we learn all about the Gombe Chimpanzee War, a hand on heart actual brutal war between two groups of chimpanzees in the 1970s and noted by Jane Goodall.  But first in our Scratch Of The Day we talk all about poor Peanut the squirrel, a woman who shot a monkey and a bear being framed for murder.  Finally we give grid V2 another try.

Generations at Gombe: Elizabeth Lonsdorf on Chimpanzee Mothers, Babies, and the Power of Long-Term StudyIn this episode of Talking Apes we're joined by Elizabeth Lonsdorf whose decades spanning career has been rooted at Gombe, the iconic chimpanzee research site founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. What started as a project to study tool-use in wild chimps has evolved into a lifetime of discovery. Elizabeth, now co-director of the Gombe Mother-Infant Project, explores the most intimate relationships in chimpanzee society: mothers and their babies.How does a chimpanzee's early life adversity—such as losing its mother—affect its behavior as an adult? How do maternal behaviors pass through generations, and what can this teach us about the evolution of childhood in both chimpanzees and humans? Elizabeth shares how her team tracks these remarkable apes from nest to nest, gathering fecal samples (yes, chimp poop is gold!) and data on everything from social bonds to stress hormones.Elizabeth discusses how chimps are not just “chimps.” Every community has its own culture, behaviors, and unique challenges. Tune in to find out how the Gombe research team is now following the fifth generation of chimps and why there are still so many mysteries left to uncover in the lives of our closest animal relatives.You won't want to miss this deep dive into the generational stories of Gombe chimps.Click here to visit Elizabeth's websiteSend us a textSupport the showTalking Apes is an initiative of the nonprofit GLOBIO.

Lutero Simango é um dos quatro candidatos na corrida à Presidência da República de Moçambique. Diz que é o melhor graças “à experiência política e à experiência da vida” e por ter “as mãos limpas”. O candidato apoiado pelo MDM afirma estar disposto a “dialogar com o diabo” para acabar com a insurgência em Cabo Delgado e avisa que não vai aceitar qualquer manipulação dos resultados eleitorais. Como prioridades, aponta a renegociação dos contratos com os mega-projetos, a redução dos encargos fiscais e o combate à corrupção. As eleições gerais em Moçambique estão marcadas para o próximo dia 9 de Outubro. Na corrida à presidência do país estão quatro candidatos: Daniel Chapo, apoiado pela Frente de Libertação de Moçambique (Frelimo), partido no poder; Ossufo Momade, apoiado pela Resistência Nacional Moçambicana (Renamo), o principal partido de oposição; Lutero Simango, apoiado pelo Movimento Democrático de Moçambique (MDM), a terceira força parlamentar; e Venâncio Mondlane, apoiado pelo Povo Optimista para o Desenvolvimento de Moçambique (Podemos) , sem representaçao parlamentar. Hoje ouvimos Lutero Simango que começa por descrever as três prioridades da sua candidatura.RFI: Quais são as três medidas principais caso seja eleito presidente da República?Lutero Simango, candidato às eleições presidenciais de Moçambique: As três medidas principais vão ser a renegociação dos contratos com os mega-projectos, redução dos encargos fiscais e o combate à corrupção, incluindo as reformas no nosso Estado.No manifesto eleitoral fala precisamente na renegociação dos contratos dos mega-projectos entre o Estado e as multinacionais. Porquê esta medida e até que ponto se pode fazer?É preciso compreender que a estabilidade social de Moçambique vai beneficiar a esses mega-projectos. Não se pode ter um negócio com sucesso num ambiente em que as populações não estão satisfeitas. Por isso, é preciso criar condições para que a nossa população se sinta satisfeita no campo socioeconómico, no campo das rendas das famílias e o acesso ao emprego. Portanto, visa precisamente esse ambiente porque se não houver estabilidade social, essas empresas não vão ter sucesso nos seus negócios.Na campanha, prometeu acabar com “o roubo do dinheiro do Estado” caso vença as eleições presidenciais. Como lutar contra a corrupção no país que ficou marcado pelo escândalo das dívidas ocultas?Vamos inicialmente tomar duas grandes medidas. A primeira será a criação do Tribunal de Contas. Segundo, vamos implementar um sistema de governação digital e tecnológica porque até agora os que desviam os fundos do Estado são simplesmente recomendados pelo Tribunal Administrativo para não repetir os erros ou as falhas. E nós vamos passar por uma outra fase em que deve ser um Tribunal de Contas a julgar todos os infractores no uso dos fundos públicos e também condená-los. E depois vamos criar um mecanismo em que vamos reduzir o contacto entre o cidadão e o sistema de cobrança do Estado, que passa necessariamente pela implementação de um sistema de governação digital e tecnológico.E em relação à segunda medida de que me falou? A redução dos encargos fiscais, o que é que pretende fazer?Vou reduzir logo, de uma forma imediata, o imposto de valor acrescentado que é o IVA dos 16 para 14%. Isso vai ter um grande impacto na vida dos moçambicanos porque vai reduzir o custo de vida e vai reduzir os preços dos produtos de primeira necessidade. Também vou revisitar algumas taxas, no caso, a taxa de energia, a taxa de água, como uma forma de criar uma situação em que todos tenham acesso à água e acesso à energia. Terei que revisitar também os encargos fiscais que se fazem sentir na comercialização dos combustíveis. Os combustíveis de Moçambique continuam a ser muito caros e isso tem o seu impacto negativo na circulação dos produtos e bens no mercado.No manifesto eleitoral fala de um Pacto de Defesa Regional contra o Terrorismo. Já há e houve tropas estrangeiras em Cabo Delgado. O que é preciso fazer para acabar com o terrorismo em Moçambique?De facto, nós vamos desenvolver uma acção socioeconómica para beneficiar a população local, para que não adira às acções dos terroristas. E também tenho dito que, se for necessário, vou dialogar com o diabo para acabar com a guerra em Cabo Delgado, isto é, vou manter uma janela aberta para encontrar uma solução de diálogo. Moçambique tem uma experiência de como terminam as suas guerras. Já tivemos a Guerra da Libertação Nacional, que durou dez anos e terminou na mesa de negociações. Tivemos a guerra civil de 16 anos, que terminou na mesa de negociações. Tivemos um conflito armado na zona centro do país, que terminou na mesa de negociações. Também tenho essa fé e essa crença que o conflito em Cabo Delgado passa necessariamente por uma janela de diálogo. E esse diálogo não significa colocar a soberania refém aos interesses obscuros. O meu objectivo é acabar com a guerra porque a guerra não só destrói, não só mata, também destrói o tecido social. Por isso, esse conflito tem que terminar. Portanto, farei tudo por tudo para acabar com esta guerra.Moçambique é regularmente classificado entre os países mais vulneráveis às consequências das alterações climáticas. Em 2019, os ciclones Idai e Kenneth fustigaram a região da Beira e Cabo Delgado. Em 2020 e 2022, o país sofreu a tempestade Eloise, novamente na região da Beira, e o ciclone Gombe em Março. Como atenuar o impacto das alterações climáticas em Moçambique?Teremos de ter uma estratégia de tornar o nosso país mais verde e também saber como explorar os recursos naturais que nós temos, a questão das árvores, etc. Portanto, a nossa estratégia é tornar Moçambique cada vez mais verde.Moçambique é classificado como um dos países mais pobres do mundo, no entanto, tem recursos naturais que chamam a atenção e até a ambição internacionais. O que fazer para que a riqueza também chegue à população? E como combater a insegurança alimentar? Recordo que na campanha disse que quer tornar a agricultura a verdadeira base do desenvolvimento de Moçambique…O combate à insegurança alimentar e fazer agricultura como a base do desenvolvimento nacional, nós vamos dar atenção a duas áreas principais: daremos atenção à agricultura familiar e à agricultura comercial. E também vou fazer dos recursos naturais como um meio de desenvolvimento nacional, isto é, fazer que os recursos naturais sejam processados e tratados dentro do território nacional como a única forma de tornar a nossa economia vibrante, uma economia que gera oportunidades, riquezas e emprego aos nossos concidadãos e também ter o financiamento necessário para as áreas sociais que são a educação e saúde.Defende a separação das funções de chefe de Estado e chefe de Governo através da eleição directa do chefe de Estado e eleição de chefe de governo por maioria parlamentar. Porquê?Nós queremos fazer reformas. É uma das razões que eu tenho feito o apelo aos moçambicanos: é que nós temos que ir para as mudanças para podermos fazer as reformas. Moçambique precisa de reformas de governação, precisa de reformas no funcionamento do nosso Estado. Essa é uma das propostas para sustentar aquilo que nós falamos, as reformas no funcionamento do nosso Estado. É preciso separação de poderes e não só, é também uma forma de valorizar o nosso Parlamento. Eu defendo que tem que haver separação efectiva dos poderes e que o Poder Legislativo também tem que ter a sua própria autonomia financeira e administrativa. Não pode depender do Executivo, assim como o sistema judiciário também tem que ter a sua autonomia administrativa e financeira. Só a separação efectiva dos poderes é que vai contribuir não só para a estabilidade social do país, mas também alavancar o desenvolvimento nacional.Em eleições anteriores, o MDM contestou os resultados eleitorais e denunciou fraudes. Perante estas acusações sistemáticas, vale a pena ir votar em Moçambique? E vai aceitar os resultados, mesmo que não lhe sejam favoráveis?Eleições justas e transparentes significa ausência de manipulação de resultados. É isso que nós esperamos. E também quero já fazer um apelo a todos os moçambicanos que fazem parte do grupo da abstenção para exercerem o seu direito de votação. Agora, se as eleições forem livres, transparentes, justas e não manipuladas, é óbvio que os resultados serão aceites. Agora, se houver manipulação de resultados, nós não vamos de nenhuma forma aceitar os resultados.Lutero Simango é a primeira vez que concorre às eleições presidenciais. O que é que faz de si o melhor candidato presidencial?O que me faz melhor que os outros é a experiência política, é a experiência da vida e também tive o privilégio de assistir a todos os cenários políticos de Moçambique, desde a independência nacional para cá. Tenho as mãos limpas, em nenhum momento envolvi-me num escândalo de desvios dos fundos públicos e também a maturidade política que eu tenho. Isso me faz diferente dos outros.

SummaryWhat does the name Taimaka mean?To what extent are there challenges, as an organization, when you aim for evidence-based decision-making?What kind of culture is needed to truly live the aspiration of being evidence-based?In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview Dr. Umar Abubakar and Justin Graham, co-founders and co-directors of The Taimaka Project -- an NGO working in Gombe state, Nigeria, on what happens when a start-up nonprofit wants to nurture an evidence-based culture.Umar Abubakar's Bio:Co-founder and director, Taimaka Project, an NGO working on child malnutrition in Gombe state, NigeriaMedical doctor, Ministry of Health, NigeriaUmar has degrees in clinical medicine as well as public healthHe runs the medical side of Taimaka's malnutrition programUmar manages Taimaka's team of nutrition care specialists, oversees hospital partners, and ensures that  patients receive the best possible standard of careJustin's Bio:Co-founder and director, Taimaka ProjectWorked in the past for the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan ReconstructionFormer intern at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)Justin oversees technology, finance, and innovation at TaimakaHe handles Taimaka's tech portfolio and manages in-house digital case management database We discuss: Taimaka Project is a start-up NGO working on child malnutrition in Gombe state in N-W Nigeria.Taimaka Project stands out in how much attention it gives to rigorous evaluation of its program treatment methods (in this case with regard to child malnutrition related interventions). Using this approach entails the following question: what is the most amount of impact we can ‘produce' or contribute to, per dollar spent? This can come across as utilitarian to some, and  a vigorous discussion about the ethical trade-offs of such an approach is always a good thingIf you want to promote an evidence-based culture, what does this entail? One facet: when you are told you are wrong, whether you are a leader or staff, you should take this personally. Taimaka regularly collaborates with academics on rigorous program evaluation. What are the ins and outs of working with academics, as a practitioner organization?Taimaka is also shifting from a start-up into a ramp-up phase and is currently experiencing fast growth. What does this imply for policies, systems, and processes that now need to be built or adapted, and how do we preserve what is precious about the org's culture?  Quotes:·       “We go a layer deeper in our measurement and evaluation” Resources:Dr. Abubakar's LinkedIn ProfileJustin's LinkedIn ProfileJustin's EmailThe Taimaka Project (sign up for their email newsletter if you want insight into their evaluation and (cost) effective measurement approaches)Tamaika LinkedIn Business Page YouTube video Click

Jane Goodalls Biografie ist filmreif: Schon als kleines Mädchen träumte sie davon, zu den Menschenaffen in den Dschungel zu ziehen. Ohne ein Studium in der Tasche schaffte es die junge Britin, zur berühmtesten Primatenforscherin der Welt zu werden. Barbara Bleisch trifft sie zum Gespräch. Da das Geld der Familie nicht reichte, war ein Studium ausgeschlossen. Stattdessen wurde Jane Goodall Sekretärin. Als sie eine Freundin nach Kenia einlud, packte sie ihre Koffer. Durch eine Reihe glücklicher Zufälle lernte sie dort den bekannten Anthropologen Louis Leakey kennen, der sie als seine Sekretärin einstellte und ihr Talent fürs Studium von Tieren erkannte. So verschlug es die völlig unerfahrene Goodall mit 26 Jahren nach Gombe in Tansania und sie erforschte über viele Jahre hinweg das Leben der Schimpansen. Aus dem Mädchen aus London wurde eine weltbekannte Forscherin und UN-Friedensbotschafterin. Mit ihrer Stiftung unterstützt sie den Schutz der Schimpansen und kämpft gegen die Armut vor Ort, denn Goodall hat früh erkannt: Tier- und Umweltschutz ist immer auch Einsatz für soziale Gerechtigkeit. Barbara Bleisch trifft die Grande Dame der Primatenforschung zum Gespräch über Träume und Durchhaltevermögen, über Menschen und Affen und über die Zukunft des Planeten. Diese Sendung ist eine Wiederholung vom 31. Dezember 2023.

Think primates are all sunshine and rainbows and cuddle piles? Think again. Chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, have an incredible capacity for cognition, culture, and calculated violence. They use tools, teach region-specific techniques to their children, follow strict social rules, and, as evidenced by the great Four Years War in Gombe, Tanzania, are capable of intense, prolonged, inter-group conflict. Learn all about the war in this episode of Primates. Follow us on instagram @the.primates.podcast for more!

Jane Goodall, a világhírű etológus, csimpánzkutató, környezetvédő, aki közel kilencven évesen is járja a világot, beszédeket, előadásokat tart, hogy felhívja a figyelmet a bolygó kritikus állapotára, és annak érdekében, hogy újabb és újabb emberek csatlakozzanak bolygómentő missziójához, határozottan figyelmeztet minket: zárul az időablak, amíg még lehet, tegyünk valamit a környezet és vele együtt az emberiség pusztulása ellen. Goodall már pályája kezdetén felforgatta a tudomány világát: fiatal, fehér nőként, diploma nélkül, az édesanyja kíséretében költözött a Gombe-i dzsungelbe, hogy etológiai terepmunkát végezzen és természetes közelből tanulmányozza a csimpánzok viselkedését. Ma már saját szakmai műhelyt, a Jane Goodall Intézetet vezeti, és jelenleg ő a tanzániai Gombe Nemzeti Park igazgatója. Amikor kérdezik, törekvéseit egy mondatban így foglalja össze: „Használjuk életünk ajándékát arra, hogy a világ egy jobb hely legyen!” Jane Goodall 2003-ban az egyik magyarországi tartózkodása során tett eleget Friderikusz Sándor meghívásának.

Even small monthly donations can make a huge impact on the long-term sustainability of the program. Visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon.com/OnHumans ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get in touch: ilari@onhumans.org _______ Thomas Hobbes famously wrote that life in the state of nature was “nasty, brutish, and short”. Recently, various scholars have claimed that Hobbes was basically right: our ancestors lived in a state of constant raiding and chronic warfare. Indeed, some have suggested that as many as 15% of ancestral humans died due to war. And the claims are made with the utmost confidence. But there is something disturbing about this confidence. The earliest archaeological records of war are only c. 14,000 years old. And many anthropologists working with modern-day hunter-gatherers claim that they tend to be remarkably peaceful.  The literature around this question is dense and difficult to penetrate. This episode aims to make it a notch more accessible.  Douglas P. Fry is an anthropologist and a leading scholar on the topic. He has written extensively about the origins of war in books such as War, Peace and Human Nature. His papers on the matter have been published in top journals such as Science. And his conclusions might be surprising to many. In this discussion, Ilari and Professor Fry talk about: The archaeological evidence for the origins of war. Why do some hunter-gatherers wage war? Why does Fry think that most of them do not? And why is the data in ⁠Better Angels of Our Nature⁠ so misleading - even fabricated? How common is lethal violence in mammals more generally?  How violent was the human Pleistocene (over 11,700 years ago)? Does it matter?

His expertise lies in cultural anthropology, the anthropology of war, ethnic conflict, state-tribe interaction, policing, and Puerto Rico. His latest book is “Chimpanzees, War, and History: Are Men Born to Kill?”. In this episode, we focus on Chimpanzees, War, and History. We start by talking about the history of the belief in a “death instinct” and aggressive drives, and what is war. We go through different cases of chimpanzee groups – Gombe, Mahale, and Kibale -, and get into detail about the Four-Year War; human interference; chimp territoriality; the rise of sociobiology; the Imbalance of Power Hypothesis; the Resource Competition Hypothesis; the Human Impact Hypothesis; the Display Violence Hypothesis; when chimps resort to violence; the aftermath of the war; and issues with counting killings. We discuss the best ways to study violence in chimpanzees. We also talk about bonobos, and Dr. Ferguson's anthropological theory of war. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, JONATHAN VISSER, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, MORTEN EIKELAND, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

“The shame I felt was because I was human.”I recently finished reading Jane Goodall's book Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey. What a gift she is - a true Big Thinker & Deep Feeler. I'll be doing a more holistic reflection on the book, but I wanted to set aside some space to specifically address one aspect of it - her observations of our relationships, as humans, with animals and her insight into this given her in depth study of chimpanzees.In Reason for Hope, Miss Goodall takes us on a journey ranging from beauty to horror. From the magical green forests of Gombe to the cruel, torture chambers that we call laboratories. This journey covers much ground experientially and emotionally. Many of the stories were painful to read. It isn't easy to hear that the incredible chimpanzees, clearly capable of intellect and emotion, would at times maul one another - ganging up to mutilate a selected target. Stories like this pierce the fantasy that Nature is all beauty and grace. (Nature has always been brutal, but I think that sometimes we romanticize it.)Worse though, were the stories Jane recounted about visiting laboratories doing testing on animals.“I am still haunted by the memory of Barbie's eyes, and the eyes of the other chimps I saw that day. They were dull and blank, like the eyes of people who have lost all hope; like the eyes of children I have seen in Africa, refugees who have lost their parents and their homes. Chimpanzee children are so like human children, in so many ways… And their emotional needs are the same – both need friendly contact and reassurance and fun and the opportunity to engage in wild bouts of play. And they need love.”“I knelt down in front of JoJo, and he reached as much of his hand as he could between the thick bars that formed a barrier between us. The bars were all around him, on every side, above and below. He had already been in this tiny prison for at least ten years; ten years of utter boredom interspersed with periods of fear and pain. There was nothing in his cage save an old motor tire for him to sit on. And he had no opportunity to contact others of his kind. I looked into his eyes. There was no hatred there, only a sort of gratitude because I had stopped to talk to him, helped to break the terrible grinding monotony of his day. Gently, he groomed the ridges where my nails pressed against the thin rubber of the gloves I had been given, along with mask and paper cap. I pushed my hand in between the bars and, lip smacking, he groomed the hairs on the back of my wrist, peeling the glove down.”“He and many others of the three hundred or so chimpanzees earned their keep; their bodies were rented to pharmaceutical companies for testing drugs or vaccines.”These stories are disturbing because we can't simply chalk it up to, “Nature is brutal.” We have the capacity to understand the effects of our actions. Choosing to ignore that, and to harm another living creature despite it, is a sickness of mind, heart, and soul. It is a disorder of Disconnection. The irony is that we create this Disconnection between ourselves and our mammal family because we are “higher functioning.” Does this seem so from the current vantage point?The kicker here is that this Disconnect is only our perception, we can't actually change our relationship with Nature. All of Life is Interconnected, so when we try to (artificially) Sever that Connection - pain is caused on both sides of that severance. In this case, the animal pain is obvious while ours as humans is much more subtle. We cannot see the pain that we inflict on ourSelves by doing this, but it is there. There is a spiritual wounding that occurs deep below the surface, one that goes unnoticed to the Disconnected heart and soul, but that doesn't mean it isn't there - or that it doesn't manifest in dis-ease of the spirit. Chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and purposelessness don't come from nowhere - these aren't innate to our True Nature. These are diseases of Disconnection. (I'm not suggesting that these have a single cause or that they are our only “diseases of Disconnection.”)If we took the time to observe animals other than ourselves, we would see playfulness, communication, and intelligence. But because we don't, it is easy to dismiss them as objects, rather than the living, feeling beings that they are. I believe that we do this subconsciously, so that it is easier to use them for our own benefit, so that we can live with mistreating them and causing them physical pain. How many of us think twice before biting into a burger, one that is made from the flesh of a cow that gave its “life” - of living in cramped, stressful, disgusting conditions - for us?“At this point I want to make it quite clear that I do not condemn the eating of meat per se—only the practice of intensive farming. Let the meat eaters among us—most of my friends—try to partake of the flesh of animals who have enjoyed their lives and have been killed in the most painless way possible. And could we not offer up a prayer for the spirit of the once living creature that has died for us? In the olden days people did just that. Indigenous peoples still do. Any little thing that brings us back into communion with the natural world and the spiritual power that permeates all life will help us to move a little farther along the path of human moral and spiritual evolution.”All of this Disconnection is possible due to the layer of separation we create between “us” and “them.” Like any “othering” this makes it easy to lack, or be completely devoid of, empathy - to Severe our natural Connection.It is terribly sad that we allow this to happen - that we, knowingly or unknowingly, perpetuate these deranged behaviors with the products we buy or the food we eat. I don't think that shaming ourSelves and our behaviors is helpful, but I think that acknowledging them is. I think that opening ourSelves up to even some of the pain that we've caused is a good place to start. Slowly but surely, we can start the process of Restoring our Connection with our fellow animals. We can choose to buy and eat humanely-raised meat. We can eat less of it, or maybe even stop eating it altogether. We can say a quick “thank you” to the living creature that gave its life for us before we eat it (I have been engaging in this practice for some time now and while it may seem silly, it's been meaningful to me.) We can buy products that aren't tested on animals. We can even simply pause to watch the birds in our backyards and acknowledge their aliveness (a personal favorite.)I'm not perfect. I do things that are out of alignment with my best intentions at times. It turns out it's difficult to change the way we've always lived and to bypass the conveniences of our modern, rushed lives. But I'm learning. I'm trying to be better. I'm trying not to blindly ignore the truths of our Disconnected ways. I'm trying to acknowledge my True Nature as a mammal and Restore my Connection with the natural world.I believe that this is where we need to start. To Restore Connection, even if slowly, to other inhabitants of this Earth, to the whole of Nature. To pause long enough to see that we're part of the same whole. To acknowledge our Interconnectedness. To admit that we've done wrong - that we've brought harm to Life, and therefore ourSelves.We are all inherently Connected. We as humans can create as much Disconnection as we'd like, for our own comfort and agendas, but as long as we do, we hurt ourSelves. We're a part of Nature, not separate from it. When we dismiss, and harm, other parts of the whole, it does just as much damage whether we acknowledge it or not.I hope that we can begin to heal these Disconnections because Life is so utterly beautiful. It would be a tragedy to waste such a magical existence.“It seemed to me, as I struggled afterward to recall the experience, that self was utterly absent: I and the chimpanzees, the earth and trees and air, seemed to merge, to become one with the spirit of life itself.”Thanks for reading Big Thinker Deep Feeler!

Thomas Hobbes famously wrote that life in the state of nature was “nasty, brutish, and short”. Recently, various scholars have claimed that Hobbes was basically right: our ancestors lived in a state of constant raiding and chronic warfare. Indeed, some have suggested that as many as 15% of ancestral humans died due to war. And the claims are made with the utmost confidence. But there is something disturbing about this confidence. The earliest archaeological records of war are only c. 14 000 years old. And many anthropologists working with modern-day hunter-gatherers claim that they tend to be remarkably peaceful.  The literature around this question is dense and difficult to penetrate. This episode aims to make it a notch more accessible.  Douglas P. Fry is an anthropologist and a leading scholar on the topic. He has written extensively about the origins of war in books such as War, Peace and Human Nature. His papers on the matter have been published in top journals such as Science. And his conclusions might be surprising to many. In this discussion, Ilari and Professor Fry talk about: The archaeological evidence for the origins of war. Why do some hunter-gatherers wage war? Why does Fry think that most of them do not? And why is the data in Better Angels of Our Nature so misleading - even fabricated? How common is lethal violence in mammals more generally?  How violent was the human Pleistocene (over 11,700 years ago)? Does it matter?

Había una vez una niña que soñaba con vivir en África en medio de los animales. Su nombre era Jane Goodall. Un día, Jane empacó sus maletas y se mudó a Gombe, en Tanzania, donde se sentaba con mucha paciencia a observar a los chimpancés para estudiarlos. Poco a poco se ganó su confianza hasta llegar a ser la persona que más sabía sobre ellos en el mundo. Jane sigue velando por la investigación y la conservación de todas las especies, mientras participa activamente en grupos de defensa de animales.

In this episode of the Hopecast, Dr. Jane Goodall speaks with Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), U.S. politician, attorney, and author. Over the course of his career serving as Mayor of Newark, New Jersey from 2006 to 2013, serving as U.S. Senator from 2013 to present, and running for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2020 election, Senator Booker has developed, sponsored, collaborated on, and passed legislation supporting LGBTQ+ rights, animal rights, climate action, racial justice, women's rights, voting rights, food justice and system reform, while also addressing the racial wealth gap and other injustices. In this conversation, Senator Booker shares his experiences living with the community he served in New Jersey, and how elders and mentors he met along the way shaped his ethos around seeing the humanity in each of us. He also shares experiences connecting with those with opposing viewpoints and how these interactions have helped him not only as a politician but as a person. This conversation is filled with stories and moments of empathy and hope from both Jane and Senator Booker that will stick with you well after you've finished listening. Senator Booker poignantly sums up why hope is such a critically important tenant to enacting change and ultimately, to the work he does every day: “Hope is the active conviction that despair will never have the last word.” At the End of the Rainbow: Stay to the end of the episode to listen to a 2016 archival clip of Dr. Goodall from a series of walking interviews in Gombe. Hear her speak about why we must return to a sense of prioritizing future generations and the world we leave behind - a wisdom she feels we have lost.

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.

In this episode of the Hopecast, Dr. Jane Goodall is joined by Dr. Lilian Pintea, Vice President of Conservation Science at the Jane Goodall Institute USA. Dr. Pintea has been with JGI for over 17 years and in his current role, he oversees all science activities and functions at JGI, supporting departments and country offices by integrating research, analysis, tools, and technological innovation to support JGI's mission. In Jane's words, he's a “brilliant and innovative scientist with a deep understanding and respect for the people and wildlife he works with.” And, one of her favorite people. In this fireside conversation, Jane and Lilian talk about his journey to becoming a scientist that was shaped by his education from all over the world - from Russia to Romania to the United States to Tanzania. Together, they reminisce on the early days of the Tacare program - JGI's community-led approach - and reflect on how by sharing technologies like Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) and maps with the communities around chimpanzee habitats, JGI is able to create a common understanding of landscapes, opportunities, and threats. Through these tools, local communities can lead better decision-making for their own lands - for sustainable development and conservation goals alike. Dr. Pintea shares with Jane about the future innovations being developed now that will further the potential of how people and technology can come together to overcome challenges. In one example, the Gombe One Health Hub project partners with Microsoft's Project Premonition in Gombe to better track and predict zoonotic disease spillover using mosquitoes as vectors. Lilian's focus on both the technological potentials, tools, and realities of local knowledge advances conservation in innovative ways by “connecting scientists to decision makers.” As Jane always says, “the head and heart need to work in harmony to attain our full potential,” and Dr. Lilian Pintea is proof of that. In 2022, JGI will be partnering with Esri - a leader in geographic information system software, web GIS and geodatabase management applications - to publish a book on Lilian and JGI's work focusing on this community-led approach called, “Local Voices, Local Choices.”  At the End of the Rainbow: Stay to the end of the episode to hear Jane recount the way in which Tacare - JGI's community-led conservation approach - created a true partnership and collaboration with local communities who are the leaders of local conservation decision-making improving the lives of people, other animals, and ecosystems across the chimpanzee range. 

In this episode of the Hopecast, Dr. Jane Goodall speaks with Alice Macharia, the vice president of JGI USA's Africa Programs. Alice joined the Jane Goodall Institute in 2004 as a project coordinator for East Africa Programs, and has since served as both JGI USA's Africa Programs Director and now Vice President. Alice's investment in supporting and working with people to increase beneficial conservation and sustainable development outcomes has created generations of positive growth for people, wildlife, and ecosystems across vital program areas. In this conversation, Jane and Alice talk about the evolution and success they've both seen through the use of JGI's innovative ‘Tacare' community-led conservation approach. Though this is something now “buzzy” in the NGO landscape, Jane began this effort nearly 30 years ago when she realized that protection of endangered chimpanzees around Gombe would fail without the partnership of local people who were struggling with poverty and inequities. The resulting approach tackles conservation threats by using advanced science, training, and funding to collaborate with communities and understand their needs. These efforts facilitate solutions like land-use planning, forest restoration and protection, sustainable livelihoods, healthcare, education, and more. This adaptive and unique approach is now being scaled in new and wonderful ways in countries across the chimpanzee range including Uganda, DRC, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Mali, Burundi, Cameroon, Gabon, Guinea, Liberia, and Tanzania - where it all began. Alice also discusses her passion for empowering young women and girls - central to JGI's work - and how it's delivering on making their aspirations more attainable every day through scholarships, training, and more. Jane and Alice explain that the interconnectedness of individuals, communities, and ecosystems must be considered and addressed in order to create a harmonious path forward for all. As they share, this holistic mindfulness of community-led conservation, “enables people to take control of their environment, of their lives.” At the End of the Rainbow: Stay to the end of the episode to hear an archival clip of Dr. Goodall speak about the urgency of acting together to fight climate change and how JGI's community-led Tacare program has strengthened the resilience of both the environment and the indomitable human spirit.

In this episode, Dr. Jane Goodall is joined by Emmanuel Mtiti, who she has worked with for nearly three decades. Emmanuel Mtiti, senior program and policy director at JGI Tanzania, is one of the co-creators of ‘Tacare' - JGI's community-driven conservation approach - alongside Dr. Goodall and George Strunden. Mtiti shares how this holistic, community-centered approach to conservation supports local ownership of the process of human development and managing local environments. In this illuminating conversation, Jane and Mtiti reminisce on how Tacare started in 1995 with just 12 Tanzanian villages around Gombe, and how today the innovative program includes 104 villages in Western Tanzania. As JGI has grown, so has Tacare with programs now in several countries including DRC, Republic of the Congo, Uganda and more across the chimpanzee range in Africa. Jane and Mtiti reflect on how this approach has provided a roadmap for the future of harmonious coexistence with the natural world. Together they discuss JGI's hope for the expansion of this model around the world.  At the End of the Rainbow: Stay to the end of the episode to hear a rare archival clip of Dr. Goodall reflecting on the perspective she gained by flying over Gombe National Park, which helped her realize that helping to improve quality of life for people who live around the park was integral in creating lasting change for wildlife and habitats.

In this episode, Dr. Goodall speaks with one of her biggest inspirations and good friends, Craig Foster of “My Octopus Teacher,” an Academy Award® nominated, BAFTA Best Documentary award-winning Netflix original, and co-founder of the Sea Change Project. In this captivating conversation, Jane and Craig speak about their passion for saving forests - for Jane, dense forests on land, and for Craig, kelp forests in the ocean. Craig shares how his documentary honors the eight-legged teacher he met in a remote kelp forest in False Bay, South Africa. Craig embodies the power of storytelling by showing the sentience, grace, and intelligence of our planet's many species. Dr. Goodall and Craig have this in common and have used their profound and special ability to connect with non-human animals, chimpanzees and octopus, to share their individual stories worldwide, motivating conservation action. About his experience during the film, Craig speaks to the hope his octopus teacher instilled in him. This conversation demonstrates what it means to use science as a tool for growing understanding, and how we can each find teachers even in the most unexpected places. *Dr. Goodall and JGI do not endorse close proximity or handling of wildlife.*  This episode is sponsored by Netflix. At the End of the Rainbow: Stay to the end of the episode to hear a rare archival clip of Dr. Goodall describing one of her first interactions with now-famous Gombe, Tanzania chimpanzee David Graybeard.

Dr. Jane Goodall sits down for an exciting and inspiring conversation with her longtime friend, British foreign correspondent and world affairs editor of BBC News, John Simpson. They reminisce upon their most memorable and intrepid adventures and share their experiences traveling to some extraordinary places, often via single engine planes. John shares how fate landed him in a recently bombed hospital in war torn Sarajevo and how a local surgeon saved him. They both remark upon how they were often guided by intuition and courage in moments of their careers that might have seemed “jolly stupid” to some of their colleagues, but have yielded great success for both of them. Dr. Goodall also discusses what it was like to demonstrate her research on Gombe chimpanzees after publishing papers on the “Four Year War” among a divided chimpanzee group - one of the first observations of great ape “warfare.” The result was controversial concepts on innate aggression in great apes during “nature vs. nurture” scientific debates of the 1970s. John and Jane have an enlightening and open-minded discussion on spirituality, including where they find their deepest connection to life's greater meaning. At the End of the Rainbow: Stay to the end of the episode to hear a rare archival clip of Dr. Goodall seeing for the first time how chimpanzees use and create tools - an insight that forever redefined what it means to be “human” as part of the rest of the animal kingdom.
