Jane Goodall: "The Monkey Lady"

“Change happens by listening then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.” Jane Goodall is one of the few people to take a closer look at the intricate nature of chimpanzees. She was born in London, England in 1934. Her first interaction with chimpanzees started at an early age when she received a doll from her parents. She received many worried complaints from her friends' parents telling her that chimpanzees were dangerous and unpredictable. Jane fell in love with the creatures. She looked the way of the island of Gambe and never turned back.

Jane never received any formal college education, and because of that, she had her own way of thinking. She changed the whole rules of science at the time and became attached to her subjects, naming them and classifying their emotional behaviors. She noticed that the chimps behave different from the other species of monkeys. She began that the chimpanzees were more human than most people new, and Jane Goodall was about to change that forever. Jane named each chimpanzee with a very distinct name. The first chimpanzee had a long beard with a greying color, so thus she named the ape “graybeard”. She had received no official training in any category until after her first publishing’s.

Jane Goodall contributed much to science and visual documentaries that we watch on Netflix, but what she really contributed to be the compassion for primates Jane Goodall was an amazing scientist that everyone wanted to meet. She is an inspiration for all conservationists and evolutionists everywhere. She has helped me realize that the scientists were closer to right than they think they are.

I think that Jane Goodall can accomplish anything is she puts her heart to it and focuses on the important things, like helping the wildlife and conserving natural resources.
