The next chapter of Dr. Jane Goodall’s life’s work unfolds in “Jane Goodall: The Hope,” premiering on Earth Day, April 22, at 9/8c on Nat Geo, Nat Geo WILD and Nat Geo Mundo. The two-hour documentary special will take viewers through chapters of Dr. Goodall’s journey in the 60 sixty years since her groundbreaking discoveries in Gombe researching wild chimpanzees, including her activism, creation of her non-profit organization [the Jane Goodall Institute Homepage] the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and [Home - Roots and Shoots] Roots & Shoots youth program, along with her current efforts to inspire the next generation.
At age 26, Jane Goodall's discovery that chimpanzees make and use tools shook the foundations of modern science and redefined the relationship between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to inspire hope through action around the world and for generations to come. JGI is a global community-centered conservation organization that advances the vision and work of Dr. Jane Goodall. JGI inspires hope through collective action and is growing the next generation of compassionate environmental stewards through our Roots & Shoots youth program, now active in 50 countries around the world.
Today, Jane is an author, advocate and public speaker, traveling an average 300 days per year sharing her reasons for hope and message that we can each make a difference to create a better world for all, every single day.
