What is the Jane Goodall Institute?
The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), founded in 1977, is a global nonprofit that empowers people to make a difference for all living things. Grounded in Dr. Jane Goodall’s pioneering study of chimpanzee behavior, begun in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, in 1960, the Jane Goodall Institute emphasizes the power of the individual to make a difference. The institute focuses on education, conservation and development, and wildlife research. For more on the Jane Goodall Institute check out the Jane Goodall Web site.
