The many things she learned about chimpanzee behavior from her years spent with them in Gombe drastically changed our understanding about animals and ourselves, especially her observations that chimps showed affection, used rudimentary tools and worked together to hunt. Jane Goodall has been advocating for animals longer than I’ve been alive (and I’m no spring chicken!) and I imagine she will continue for as long as she is physically able. But she returns to her chimps whenever she can, to keep them close in her heart.ĭr. She learns that her chimps are in danger, from deforestation and poachers, so she leaves them to spread the word and ask for help to save them. Gradually, all the chimps start to trust her and she learns a lot about them and their behavior. She takes notes on the chimps and names them, finally making a connection with one that she names David Greybeard, who is the first to approach her. She watches them patiently as they go about their lives. She goes to Gombe in Tanzania, where the chimps live, and waits until they let her see them. She meets a scientist named Louis Leakey who needs someone to study chimpanzees and Jane is delighted.
She works hard after graduation and saves all her money to buy a ticket to Kenya, where she looks for a job working with animals. She loves watching all kinds of animals and dreams of talking to them, just like Dr. While everyone is looking for her, little Jane Goodall is in the henhouse, watching a hen lay an egg.
