SIR David Attenborough has praised Dame Jane Goodall for her pioneering work with chimpanzees and on promoting environmental protection following her death aged 91.
Pioneer Sir David Attenborough, Dame Jane Goodall kissing a chimp in Kenya and the conservationist with Prince Harry in 2019
The conservationist, who was the world's leading expert on chimp behaviour, died of natural causes on Wednesday in California while on a speaking tour of the US.
Her friend Sir David, 99, said: "Jane Goodall was the first to prove that an investigating scientist and a great ape living in the wild could become true friends and in doing so she came to transform our understanding of chimpanzees.
"She was their tireless advocate and a great champion of environmental protection."
The Prince of Wales, who has long been passionate about nature and established his Earthshot environmental prize to find solutions to protect the planet, praised Dame Jane's dedication.
