Celebrating a hero

Remembering Dr Jane Goodall, who devoted her life to the study and conservation of chimps.

- 

On October 1, the world said goodbye to Jane Goodall, a British chimpanzee expert who died at the age of 91. Goodall studied chimpanzees at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve – now a national park - in Tanzania in 1960. She had not been trained as a scientist, but many believe that this was one of her greatest strengths because it meant she was not influenced by everyone else's thoughts about chimps.
