In July 1960, Jane Goodall arrived in Gombe, Tanzania, to study wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries, including that chimpanzees make and use tools, profoundly changed science and redefined what it means to be human.

Recognizing threats to chimpanzees, Jane shifted her focus to advocacy. She launched JGI's community-led Tacare conservation approach, championed animal welfare—including opening JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary—and traveled globally to spread her message of hope.

Jane's legacy includes the Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots youth program, empowering young people in over 75 countries. Join us on April 3rd to celebrate Jane and uphold her vital work for people, other animals, and our shared planet.

A Pew Research Center survey indicates that while highly religious Americans generally express less concern about climate change, young religious adults—including evangelicals under 30—are significantly more likely to acknowledge human-caused global warming and its severity. Across U.S. college campuses, various religious groups (Christian, Jewish, Muslim) are now advocating for collective action to reduce carbon emissions.

On April 26, 2023, a panel featured young Americans from diverse religious backgrounds. They discussed how their faith informs campus activism, shared their evolving perspectives, and explored their impact – or hoped-for impact – on older generations within and beyond their traditions.
