Why does the Jane Goodall Institute help chimpanzees?
50 years ago Jane Goodall began what is now the longest running field research project into chimpanzees. They were her inspiration for helping conserve the environment and help local communities who have to live in harmony with chimpanzees for both to survive. She did not want her grandchildren to live in a world where there were no more chimpanzees. Chimpanzees also tell us much about human development as they are our closest relatives in the animal world. New scientific discoveries are still being made through humane research at the Gombe based world class research centre.
