THE PASSIONISTAS PERSIST ICON AWARD & CONVERSATION WITH DR. GOODALL
Presented to DR. JANE GOODALL by Amy & Nancy Harrington
Dr. Jane Goodall’s landmark study of chimpanzee behavior at Gombe Stream became the foundation of future primatological research and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute — widely recognized for innovative, community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa. In 1991, she founded Roots & Shoots, the global environmental and humanitarian youth program dedicated to taking action to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment.
