“We need to collaborate, we need to get together, we need countries and individuals to work together to make this a better world so that we can be a little bit proud of what we leave for our children.”
Dr. Jane Goodall delivered these words in her 'Speech for History'; a historic address before a thousand young activists, decision makers and scientists at UNESCO HQ, Paris on 19 October 2024.
On her passing, Sir David Attenborough a close a friend of Dr Goodall's, praised her as a "tireless advocate" of chimpanzees and "a great champion of environmental protection".
The Prince of Wales also paid tribute to Dame Jane Goodall, saying "the world has lost an extraordinary voice", adding, "she challenged us all to make a difference and inspired me and countless others to work to protect our planet. Jane Goodall made a difference." The Prince of Wales said she inspired him personally and "her boundless curiosity, compassion and pioneering spirit transformed our understanding of the natural world".
