Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, has devoted much of her life to understanding our closest relative-the chimpanzee. Her efforts have also evolved to address the conversation of the precious forest habitat in and around Gombe National Park in Tanzania, and to help improve the lives of the people living adjacent to the park. She will discuss the exciting and innovative work of the Jane Goodall institute and her youth program “Roots & Shoot,'. As a UN messenger of peace she talks about her reason for hope in these complex times and ways in which every individual makes a difference every day.
