What would it look like to keep all living creatures in the loop on the development of new technology? Reid sat down for a wide-ranging solo discussion with Jane Goodall on that very subject – and more. They talked about how to maintain hope and focus on local impact in today's often chaotic world, how technology – and AI in particular – might be helpful for conservation, and Jane's global youth program, Roots & Shoots. Plus, the Jane Goodall institute shared audio from a cutting edge acoustic array that helped them discover a brand new species in Gombe National Park in Tanzania! Jane reflected on her legacy and shared stories about bridging unlikely divides, defying the scientific community early in her career, young people opening their eyes to the natural world for the first time, and so much more. Thank you to the incredible team at the Jane Goodall Institute and WildMon (L. Pintea, B. Wallauer, K. Harmon, M. Campos, Gabriel Leite, Tomaz Melo, Guilherme Melo, D. A. Collins, D. C. Mjungu) that, with funding from Google, utilized an acoustic array to discover brand new species in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, including Thomas's Dwarf Galago (Galagoides thomasi).

Asociale mannetjes chimpansees eindigen hoger op de sociale ladder en krijgen meer nageslacht. Maar als deze persoonlijkheidstrek voor zoveel succes zorgt, waarom zijn alle mannetjes apen dan niet zo?  Uit onderzoek naar een groep chimpansees in het Gombe National Park in Tanzania blijkt dat er flink wat persoonlijkheidsverschillen onder de mannetjes bestaan. Nu blijkt dat dominant en asociaal gedrag loont, levert dat een evolutionaire puzzel op.  In een ander onderzoek is gekeken naar het maken van weloverwogen berekende keuzes. Iets wat alleen mensen doen toch? Of toch niet? Makaken laten in een experiment zien dat ze (weer eens) veel intelligenter zijn dan we dachten.  Lees hier meer over het onderzoek over brutale apen: If it pays to be a jerk, why isn't everyone that way? En hier meer over de slimme makaken: Monkeys are smarter than we thought. Met veel meer info over het experiment in de paper: Computational complexity drives sustained deliberation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist, has set us a challenge: Is it possible to tackle climate change whilst also lifting people out of extreme poverty? Her question - posed to the BBC's Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt - is inspired by her own experience of tackling deforestation in Tanzania. As her colleague Emmanuel Mtiti explains, they convinced local villagers to stop felling trees, and to restore the natural habitat of chimpanzees, by offering them an alternative path to prosperity. So could an equivalent path be available that avoids increasing carbon emissions? If so then it would break with the pattern seen in Europe, America and China, where economic development was almost entirely fuelled by burning coal, oil and gas, according to Hannah Ritchie, head of research at Oxford University's Our World in Data team. But the micro-finance pioneer Muhamad Yunus says that solar power does now offer a carbon-free way forwards. The programme contains audio from the 1965 National Geographic documentary film Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees, as well as audio recorded at Gombe National Park and the surrounding area by Ruth Happel and Bernie Krause.

A Forest Gathering at Gombe National Park, Tanzania. (15 min)

Dr. Jane Goodall DBE is an ethologist and environmentalist. From infancy she was fascinated by animal behavior, and in 1957 at 23 years old, she met the famous paleoanthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey while she was visiting a friend in Kenya. Impressed by her passion for animals, he offered her the chance to be the first person to study chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, in the wild. And so three years later Jane traveled from England to what is now Tanzania and, equipped with only a notebook, binoculars, and determination to succeed, ventured into the then unknown world of wild chimpanzees. Jane Goodall's research at Gombe National Park has given us an in-depth understanding of chimpanzee behavior. The research continues, but in 1986, realizing the threat to chimpanzees throughout Africa, Jane traveled to six study sites. She learned first-hand not only about the problems facing chimpanzees, but also about those facing so many Africans living in poverty. She realized that only by helping local communities find ways of making a living without destroying the environment could chimpanzees be saved. Since then Jane has traveled the world raising awareness and learning about the threats we all face today, especially climate change and loss of biodiversity. The author of many books for adults and children and featured in countless documentaries and articles, Jane has reached millions around the world with her lectures, podcasts and writings. She was appointed as a UN Messenger of Peace, is a Dame of the British Empire, and has received countless honors from around the world. Douglas Abrams is the New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Book of Joy: Lasting Happiness in a Changing World with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the first book in the Global Icons Series. Douglas is also the founder and president of Idea Architects, a literary agency and media development company helping visionaries to create a wiser, healthier, and more just world. He lives in Santa Cruz, California.

Dr. Lilian Pintea of the Jane Goodall Institute joins us this week on The Lookfar Podcast: Voices from the Wild. From his upbringing in rural Moldova and Romania to his studies at Moscow State University and the University of Minnesota, Lilian has long been passionate about wild animals and their habitats. As Vice President for Conservation Science at the Jane Goodall Institute, Lilian has spent nearly twenty years applying satellite imagery and other remote sensing and data integration technologies to Dr. Goodall's community-led conservation work in Gombe National Park, Tanzania and throughout the chimpanzee range in Africa.

A recent science publication describes the social bonding that seems to occur among male chimpanzees towards the alpha male that has the effect of enabling less dominant males access to females. The data is based upon nearly 40 years of longitudinal observations of our closest relatives made at Gombe National Park in Tanzania. Primatologist Dr. Samantha Russak from Tanganika Wildlife Park discusses the implications of the study for understanding early humans as well as the conservation importance of preserving primate species.

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.

"Each and every one of us can make a difference every day – working for animals, people and the environment!" Lorenz Knauer is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder and board president of the Jane Goodall Institute for Animals, Wildlife and the Environment in Germany. He made the award-winning feature-length documentary Jane's Journey (about Jane Goodall), along with many other documentary films in his 35+ year career. “Real life and real people interest me much more than fiction – the ‘small’ stories often more than the big ones,” Lorenz says.  “As a child I witnessed the building of the Berlin Wall and understood very early that people will risk their lives so they can live in freedom, choosing to follow their inner calling instead of doing what other people tell them to do. That was an experience I have never forgotten and it laid the foundations for my deep dislike of dictators and ideologues of any kind. Many people I make films about are ‘outsiders,’ non-conformists.  More often than not, they are self-taught individuals who live out their dreams against all odds.” Lorenz was born in Munich in 1953 – “only eight years after the end of World War II, when Germany was a traumatized country on all levels.”  His father had been an anti-Nazi drafted against his will into Hitler’s army in the final phase of the war, a man Lorenz describes as “a very, very angry and violent man with a very short temper – his was reign of terror.” “It took me decades to even begin to understand where my father’s anger had its roots,” he notes.  “In fact, I was early in my forties, my own life had fallen completely apart at that point …it was then that I began years of therapy which eventually helped me understand that it was not just my father who was so angry – it was the entire generation of my parents and of their parents too: they had gone through WW I, lost that war and Germany’s honor, lost family members, lost their fortunes during the inflation in the 20’s and the Great Depression in the 30’s… and then lost WW II on top of all that! Those generations never had the opportunity to heal or to even talk about what had gone wrong and why they were so angry! It was all swept under the carpet and ‘forgotten’ because everyone was so busy rebuilding the country, making money and fighting communism during the Cold War which erupted more or less directly after WW II had ended and continued on until 1989 when the Berlin Wall finally came down and the communist system collapsed.” Lorenz grew up in West Berlin, London, and the United States, frequently shuttling among the 3 countries as his father pursued an academic career in the classics. “13 schools in some 13 schoolyears,” he notes, “so I was used to always being the ‘other,’ the foreigner, the ‘Kraut’ when in America or, when in Germany, ‘Der Ami’ or the ‘American.’”  He stayed in Europe to study law, Italian and French literature, linguistics and History of Art at various universities in Italy, France, and Germany. Lorenz’s first big break in making documentary films came in early 1989, when Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Malcolm Clarke invited him to the United States to write and direct a film about the crisis caused by more than 200 million guns in private hands in that country. HBO had commissioned the film about all the deaths by gun on a randomly chosen date in the summer of 1989. It was to be a strong statement against gun-related violence in the US.  “It turned out to be the most difficult and painful documentary I had made,” Lorenz says.  “It was heart-wrenching to hear the stories from husbands, wives and children who had witnessed their dear ones being shot in front of their very eyes in 60 cases on that fateful day. But it was even harder to experience how our film was basically censored in the end thanks to the powerful lobbying of the National Rifle Association. The film did air in 1990 with the title ‘Guns: A Day in The Death of America,’ but the final version was by far not as powerful as our original rough cut had been. I often think today how sad it is that nothing has changed in the 30 years since I made that film – the number of annual casualties has not changed, on the contrary, things seem to have deteriorated even more.  The devastating experience of having ‘Guns’ more or less destroyed by the very people who had commissioned a powerful anti-gun-film made me decide to return to Germany and continue to make documentaries there.” Though he had been inspired by reading Silent Spring by Rachel Carson in high school, and had become concerned about dying forests and the environment since the 1970s (leading him to give up owning a car!), it was a chance meeting with Jane Goodall in early 1990 that led to a shift in his film projects. Knauer’s documentary Jane’s Journey (available for streaming), developed in 2009-2010 and debuted in 2010, explores Jane Goodall’s life from her childhood in England to the Gombe National Park in Tanzania, capturing Goodall’s journey in communicating to the world about ecological and humanitarian issues. Jane’s Journey was shortlisted for an Academy Award and invited to festivals around the world, winning the International Green Film Award at the “Cinema for Peace” festival in Berlin.  Knauer hopes to film a sequel to Jane's Journey.  "Ten years after my first visit to the Gombe area I traveled again to all the locations where we shot Jane’s Journey and the positive changes completely blew me away, inspiring me to go back and make another film as soon as I have found the funds to do so." After filming Jane's Journey, Knauer founded the Jane Goodall Institute for Animals, Wildlife and Environment in Germany with a small group of volunteers.  The Institute is “committed to comprehensive nature and species protection, education in sustainable development, and global development cooperation. Jane Goodall realized very early on that because of the multiple and ever-increasing threats to chimpanzees and other primates in modern wildlife conservation, it is absolutely necessary to include social and economic aspects of people locally and globally.” After a peripatetic childhood, Knauer has re-rooted himself in the land and soil of Germany.  “It is a great gift for me to make films about people ….   It is also a great gift to make films about the landscapes in which they – and we – live; to understand more and more about how much we are shaped by the land we live in – how closely our concepts of "home" and "land" are linked, and how important it is to be aware of our roots,” Knauer realizes.  “It was not so long ago that I realized how true this holds for my own life – it happened while I was working on a portrait of the wild and lovely alpine river that flows through my native city of Munich. Until then, I had always imagined that I was ‘free’ and ‘at home’ wherever I happened to be living and making films – but the River Isar taught me something else: My true home is only where she is…and that is where I belong. Embedded in a network of friends and people I love to work with, colleagues and producers who are open for these thoughts, thus enabling me to make my kind of documentary films.” Join us in conversation with this trauma survivor, gifted storyteller and filmmaker!

We were honoured to welcome the incredible Dr. Jane Goodall to Taronga this month for an intimate conversation at Taronga’s wonderful Institute of Science and Learning. With almost 60 years of chimpanzee research at Gombe National Park in Tanzania, coupled with first-hand knowledge of global issues facing our future generations, Dr. Jane shines a light on the choices we can all make to secure the future that our planet desperately needs. Her message is one of hope, unity and inspiration – that together we will secure a shared future for wildlife and people.

A scientist solves the mystery of the only known chimpanzee civil war...thus far. In 1960, Louis Leakey sent Jane Goodall to start her study of chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania. Her first decade of research led her to think that chimpanzees were like nicer versions of humans. But in the early 1970s, the Gombe chimp community split in two and deadly violence erupted. The cause has remained a mystery until now. A new study by Leakey Foundation grantee Joseph Feldblum reveals similarities between the ways chimpanzee and human societies break down.

Jane Goodall was only twenty-four when in she went to live among the chimpanzees of Gombe National Park in Tanzania, and she went on to spend more than 55 years there. She has done more than anyone else to transform our understanding of chimpanzees - and beyond that, her work has raised questions about how we treat these highly intelligent primates, and indeed about the rights of all animals. Now in her early eighties, she's on an extraordinary mission travelling round the world to protect chimpanzees from extinction. During a rare stay in Britain, Jane Goodall talks to Michael Berkeley about her life and ground-breaking discoveries. She reveals that the chimpanzees she lived with also had a darker side, and were sometimes violent, stamping on her. She remembers difficult times after the kidnapping of some of her workers, and the death of her second husband - and how music sustained her, and transformed her view of the world. Music choices include Beethoven, Bach, Schubert, Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto and Richard Burton reading the Dylan Thomas classic "Under Milk Wood'. She also introduces some very excited chimpanzee speech, and speculates about what kind of music chimpanzees enjoy.
