 “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
- Jane Goodall
A scientist, conservationist, peacemaker, and mentor, Jane Goodall is an astounding nominee for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize. With over 50 years of work and dedication, Goodall has proven a legacy for the protection of wildlife and conservation of the environment to ensure a better future for all inhabitants of the world. At 85 years old, Jane continues her studies by touring place to place and spreading the message of hope as a United Nations Messenger of Peace.

Jane Goodall has promoted a sense of peace for the world and its entirety. She did not stop at the study of chimpanzees. She grew a legacy with The Jane Goodall Institute which has inspired the world to continue to grow her mission of peace between people, wildlife, and the environment.

“We are all connected- we must find ways to understand chimpanzees, their health and behavior, to best protect them, ecosystems and human communities alike.”
- Jane Goodall


Goodall has spent a lifetime of dedication to what began as her passionate research on chimpanzees. Through Goodall’s research and inspiration to our world’s youth, we have learned much of how each individual can contribute and make a difference for the sake of all wildlife, human beings, and our precious planet.

“If we all give up hope and do nothing, well then indeed there is no hope. It will be helped by all of us, every one of us taking action of some sort.”
- Jane Goodall
