In today's episode, we hear from leader and luminary Dr. Jane Goodall, who has, for decades, made significant contributions to not only the scientific world, but to, arguably, the entire planet. When 26-year-old, British-born Jane Goodall began field studies of primates in Tanzania in July 1960, she was the first researcher to observe chimpanzees in the wild, and she remains the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. Her rigorous and creative approach quickly gained the attention of the National Geographic Society, which awarded her first grant, and has passionately championed her work in the decades since. Despite never getting a college degree, Dr. Goodall was accepted at Cambridge University, earned her PhD in ethology in 1966, and spent decades in the Gombe Stream National Park studying chimpanzee communities, eventually becoming the only human to ever be accepted into a chimpanzee society. Today, at the age of 90, Dr. Goodall is a legendary conservationist, galvanizing educator, UN Messenger of Peace, and an inspiring writer and public speaker. Her curiosity, empathy, wisdom, protective heart, and unshakeable hope reflect the best of humanity, and even though today's conversation is short, you'll hear all of those exemplary characteristics embodied in her voice and story.

Jane Goodall wurde am 03. April 1934 in London, Vereinigtes Königreich geboren. Sie ist eine britische Verhaltensforscherin, die seit 1960 das Verhalten von Schimpansen im Gombe-Stream-Nationalpark untersucht. Zum Schutz der Habitate der Primaten und weitere ihrer Art zu kämpfen, gründete sie das Jane-Goodall-Institut. „Ich bin in England geboren, arbeite in Afrika und lebe in Flugzeugen.“ heißt ein Zitat auf ihrer Homepage www.janegoodall.de. WEiter heißt es dort: "1960 schlägt sie zum ersten Mal im heutigen „Gombe Stream National Park“ in Tansania ihr Lager auf. Fünfundzwanzig Jahre lang lebt sie dort mit den wilden Schimpansen. Und dann kehrt sie 1986 ihrem kleinen Paradies den Rücken und wird zur unermüdlichen Aktivistin für ein Leben, in dem Mensch, Tier und Umwelt eine Zukunft haben."Die „Schimpansenflüsterin“ Jane Goodall hatte schon als Kind eine Faszination für Afrika und seine Tiere und es war ihr Traum, einmal dorthin zu reisen. Dass sie sogar Jahre dort leben sollte, konnte sie damals noch nicht einmal zu hoffen wagen. Jane musste zunächst einen klassisch weiblichen Beruf erlernen – Sekretärin, wie es sich für die damalige Zeit schickte –, bevor sie der Einladung eines ehemaligen Klassenkameraden nach Kenia folgte. Dort kam es zu einer schicksalhaften Begegnung. Louis Leakey, Direktor des Kenya National Museum, beauftragte sie mit der Erforschung von Menschenaffen – und das, obwohl sie ungelernt war! Er spürte, dass Jane die Affen wertschätzte, ihnen nah sein wollte und sie und ihr Habitat in höchstem Maße respektierte. Es gelang ihr tatsächlich den Tieren so nah zu kommen, wie kein Forscher vor ihr. Die Ergebnisse ihrer Forschung waren bahnbrechend und sind bis heute einzigartig. Inwiefern? Das legen Cathrin und Kim in dieser Folge von Starke Frauen dar.Ihr erreicht uns wie immer unter: https://linktr.ee/starkefrauenWir freuen über über Spenden via Paypal an starkefrauenpodcast@gmail.comMehr zu uns unter: https://www.podcaststarkefrauen.de/#femalescientist #femalempowerment #sheroes #jangoodall #frauenvorbilder Photo Credit: Jeekc, 2007 CC BY-SA 3.0 Möchtest Du Cathrin oder Kim auf einen Kaffee einladen und dafür die Episoden werbefrei hören?

NOVEMBER 7, 2021 - APRIL 17, 2022 at the Natural History Museum in Los AngelesDr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace, started as an intrepid young woman with a dream to learn about animals in Africa. Dr. Goodall traveled to what is now Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park and immersed herself by observing chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Her work studying the lives of chimpanzees in the wild captured the imagination of the world. Rather than seeing the animals as subjects, she came to know them as individuals with personalities and emotions—a notion once rejected by the scientific world, yet now considered revolutionary. Today, in her current role as an activist, mentor and advocate for creating a better world for all life on Earth, she inspires us all. Her story—one of fearless determination, curiosity, the pursuit of knowledge and a passionate love of the natural world—has resonated with generations of people around the globe.Source: https://nhm.org/person/oh-suSource: https://nhm.orgThis episode is from an archive from the KPFK program Profiles adapted for podcast.

A conversation about conservation with Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist and anthropologist. Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall is best known for her 60-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees since she first went to Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania in 1960, where she witnessed human-like behaviors amongst chimpanzees. Now she's leading global change for conservation and animal welfare issues. She's a one-of-a-kind treasure and you'll love this warm, witty conversation with Guy Kawasaki, host of The Remarkable People podcast.
Natasha Coutts is a doctoral candidate with the School of Human Sciences at The University of Western Australia (UWA), a postgraduate fellow with UWA's Africa Research & Engagement Centre, and a research affiliate of the Center of Excellence in Biology and Natural Resource Management at the University of Rwanda. Her research takes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding how habitat fragmentation can affect the gut microbiome of eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) throughout Rwanda by drawing on methods and knowledge from fields such as socioecology, conservation biology, microbiology, population genetics, and bioinformatics. Her project includes two habituated and one semi-habituated chimpanzee communities: one in an undisturbed, continuous habitat and two in small, degraded forest fragments. These field sites represent all locations in Rwanda where chimpanzees currently remain, thereby providing a country-wide perspective on the processes under investigation. From 2018 - 2019 Natasha was in the field collecting dietary and social data in conjunction with faecal samples and habitat surveys to allow her to identify not only the composition of the chimpanzee's gut microbial communities, but also the potential mechanisms by which habitat fragmentation can act upon it. With more and more evidence linking the gut microbiome to health, this research is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding how changes in habitat can influence the long-term health and viability of endangered chimp populations. Ultimately she hopes her work will make a meaningful contribution to the conservation of chimpanzees by informing management decisions that promote preserving intact habitats and reconnecting isolated fragments. Natasha holds a Bachelor of Biological Science (Advanced) from La Trobe University and a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours in Anatomy & Human Biology from UWA. In addition to her PhD research, Natasha is also the Africa Programs & Conservation Campaigns Manager with the Jane Goodall Institute Australia. In this role she oversees the administration and implementation of the projects JGIA supports including The Girls Empowerment Project in Uganda, Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, and Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in Republic of Congo. In our conversation, we talk about habitat fragmentation, developing a chimpanzee superhighway, and how empowering girls can lead to better economic, social, and ecological outcomes.

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. She spoke to Outlook's Jo Fidgen in 2016 Image: Dr.Jane Goodall with orphan chimpanzee Uruhara at the Sweetwaters Sanctuary in Kenya Credit: Michael Neugebauer
In this episode, we present a conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall who reflects on seeing her life's journey to becoming one of the world’s most prominent conservationists chronicled through archival footage in Brett Morgen's 2017 documentary, Jane.In 1960, at the age of 26 and with little academic training, Jane Goodall set off into the Gombe Stream National Park forests to study the relatively unexamined life of the chimpanzee. Her discoveries led to a lifelong fascination with our primate kin, and she went on to transform the world’s view of them.Goodall’s work has since been canonized in books, essays, articles, and documentaries the world over, but the conservationist says none of these has been as authentic or nostalgic as Brett Morgen’s biographical documentary, Jane.The Emmy-award winning documentary utilizes archival 16mm footage shot by Hugo van Lawick in the 1960s to deliver a powerful and uplifting portrayal of Goodall, following her groundbreaking research in Tanzania and the way she challenged male-dominated scientific communities with her chimpanzee research.In this conversation recorded at the 2018 Vancouver International Film Festival, Dr. Godall speaks about how it all began, about her life's journey, and how it led her to the forests of Gombe to study the chimpanzees there.

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.
The Ghosts of Gombe: A True Story of Love and Death in an African Wilderness - with Dale Peterson On July 12, 1969, Ruth Davis, a young American volunteer at Dr. Jane Goodall’s famous chimpanzee research camp in the Gombe Stream National Park of Tanzania, East Africa, walked out of camp to follow a chimpanzee into the forest. Six days later, her body was found floating in a pool at the base of a high waterfall. With careful detail, The Ghosts of Gombe reveals for the first time the full story of day-to-day life in Goodall’s wilderness camp—the people and the animals, the stresses and excitements, the social conflicts and cultural alignments, and the astonishing friendships that developed between three of the researchers and some of the chimpanzees—during the months preceding that tragic event. Was Ruth’s death an accident? Did she jump? Was she pushed? In an extended act of literary forensics, Goodall biographer Dale Peterson examines how Ruth’s death might have happened and explores some of the painful sequelae that haunted two of the survivors for the rest of their lives.
