AS EARTH DAY 2024-APRIL 22RAISES AWARENESS OF THE IMPACT OF PLASTIC ON HUMAN AND PLANETARY HEALTH, PEOPLE CELEBRATES JANE GOODALL AND THE CLIMATE WARRIORS FOLLOWING IN HER FOOTSTEPS

Not everyone gets a happy-birthday message from Cher on social media or a special performance by Dave Matthews at a private party in San Francisco. But then again not everyone is Dr. Jane Goodall. "People like Jon Stewart are coming to one birthday party," she says. "I can't keep up with all these people in all these places." The legendary ethologist, who broke ground with her trailblazing research on chimpanzees and has dedicated her life to protecting the planet, doesn't understand all the fuss about her 90th birthday on April 3. "I don't feel any different from how I was last year at this time," she says. "So I shall just carry on. I'm busier than ever. I feel that I was put on this planet with a mission."
