A coincidence implies a random event occurring in juxtaposition with something happening in your life. Goodall does not believe in coincidences. As one of the world’s most famous conservationist, Jane Goodall has made it her quest to encourage us to move forward in this world with hope. Humans need to continue to learn and live in awe and wonder of our incredible world. The book emphasizes that hope is essential for our children’s future here on Earth. In many places humans are using up nature’s finite natural resources faster than nature can replenish them. Goodall wants the world leaders to address the problems caused by growing populations of humans and their livestock. Third, we must eliminate corruption, for without good government leadership, we cannot work together to solve our enormous social and environmental challenges.įinally, Ms. A lack of wealth also influences personal choices and the opportunities available in newer areas such as access to online and mobile technologies. There is a wide gap between the wealthy and the poor. Second, we must reduce the unsustainable lifestyles of the affluent. Or fish the last fish because you are desperate to feed your family. If you are living in crippling poverty, you will cut down the last tree to grow food. Goodall believes that first we must alleviate poverty. There is always hope that as humans we still have time to come together and solve the existential threats to life on Earth. The crippling poverty, lack of good education and health facilities, and the degradation of the land as human populations grew. She also became aware of the problems facing the human populations living around the chimpanzee forests. In those early years Jane discovered that in every place where chimps were being studied their numbers were dropping and their forests were being destroyed. When Jane entered the forest with her own goals and dreams, she had no idea that hope itself would ultimately become a central theme of her work. She set out every morning at half past five and crawled about on the forest floor or watched from a mountain peak for glimpses of the chimpanzees, only stopping when it became dark. Her early days in Africa were full of dangers, challenges, and obstacles. Louis Leakey, wanted someone whose thinking was not already compromised by too much academic prejudice or pre-conceived beliefs. She didn’t even have an undergraduate degree. When Jane began her study of chimpanzees, she was not an established scientist. As a naturalist, you need to have empathy and intuition, and love. ![]() Whereas a scientist is more focused on facts and the desire to quantify. She explains that a naturalist looks for the wonder of nature and listens to the voice of nature to understand and learn. Goodall does not call herself a scientist but rather a naturalist. In 2015 he met for a week with Archbishop Tutu and the Dalai Lama as they looked back on their long lives to answer the question: How do we find Joy in the face of life’s inevitable suffering? This collaboration, Book of Joy, became a New York Times Bestseller. Drawing on all she has learned in her 88 years she expands our understanding of living with hope and building a better world.ĭouglas Abrams is both an author and editor and is dedicated to interviewing people who are creating a wiser, healthier, and more just world. Jane was born in London in 1934 and considers her first life’s challenge as being a survivor of World War II. At the age of 26 she traveled to Tanzania and the Gombe Stream National Park to literally crawl on the forest floor to be near and live beside chimpanzees. When Jane Goodall’s name is mentioned most know her as the women that studied chimpanzees. ![]()
