She Was a 'Tireless Advocate' for Nature
Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist and animal welfare advocate who became the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees after spending decades studying them in the wild in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park has died. She was 91.
According to a statement on Wednesday, Oct. 1, from her eponymous institute, she died of natural causes while on a speaking tour in California.
An understatement....Named as UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, Goodall also worked for decades to protect chimpanzees from extinction, becoming one of the most beloved figures the world has ever known.
