3 facts about Dr Jane Goodall.
🌎 A key observation Goodall noted while studying at Gombe Stream National Park was that chimpanzees made and used tools. Prior to this discovery, scientists accepted that trait as a definition of humanity.
🌎 Goodall first travelled to what is now Tanzania in 1960, and began her first study of wild chimpanzees. Because it was deemed inappropriate for Jane to travel alone to Tanzania, authorities mandated she have an escort. Goodall took her mother along for the journey.
🌎 In 2002, Goodall was acknowledged as the UN Peace Messenger and an honorary constituent of Future World Council.
