Remembering
Dr Jane Goodall
Dr Jane Goodall, the visionary primatologist and tireless environmental campaigner, has died at the age of 91.
Her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees transformed humanity’s understanding of their behaviour and, above all, their intelligence. But she was also a champion of her fellow primatologists, not least her peer Dian Fossey, who blazed a similarly important trail in the field of gorilla research and conservation.
