By on Conservation, Hope In Action, Jane Says

There is one really important message that I want to share on Earth Day 2025: I urge everyone to treat every day of the year as Earth Day.

We are emitting greenhouse gasses that are causing temperatures to rise which lead to changing weather patterns with more hurricanes, tycoons, floods, draughts, heatwaves and forest fires that may destroy our homes. We…

By on Conservation, Hope In Action, Seriously Good For All

In the heart of western Tanzania, deep in the lush forests of Katavi, the steady hum of bees signals more than just the making of honey — it tells a story of resilience, opportunity, and sustainable transformation. Abdallah Kakoso and Rehema Humud never expected that bees would change their life. For years, limited economic opportunities made it difficult to provide for their family, and deforestation put additional strain on their land and resources. With forests shrinking due to unsustainable farming and firewood collection, life was becoming even more challenging — money was tight, opportunities were scarce, and the future felt…

When disaster strikes, young people have the power to make a difference — and Roots & Shoots was created to help them do just that. Designed to support youth in taking action for their local communities, the program inspires changemakers to turn their compassion into meaningful impact. In the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which destroyed homes and businesses and displaced both people and animals, JGI is honored to see the Roots & Shoots community step up. These changemakers are proving that even small actions can bring hope and relief in times of crisis. Mobilizing Relief for Fire…

This is a message to the JGI global family — staff, boards, donors, volunteers and everyone else.

Photovoice Training for Impactful Community-Led Action and Storytelling

By on Conservation, Hope In Action, Seriously Good For All, Youth Power

With help from photovoice training, a method which pairs photography and narratives to document community needs and resources, the Jane Goodall Institute is sending out roots (and shoots) of compassionate storytelling through our global network!

They shared that they felt helpless, and like they inherited so many problems that they could do nothing about. Jane encouraged them to start small, with the issues that immediately impacted…

0
By on Conservation, Hope In Action, Primates, Seriously Good For All

An update from our 2023 annual report. Before she was a global icon, before she was a scientist, Dr. Jane Goodall was first and foremost a lover of animals. Her belief in the sentience and sapience of non-human animals — including one of her greatest teachers, a dog named Rusty — motivated her passions from a young age. The Jane Goodall Institute is proud to continue in this spirit through our work today. Chimpanzees are our flagship species — their status in the wild guides our investments, and we support the entire tapestry of life that makes up their ecosystem. …
