Jane Goodall, who died at 91 while on a speaking tour of the US on October 1, 2025, began her groundbreaking chimpanzee research in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park in 1960. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to protect wildlife and improve human lives for better conservation outcomes. In a 2019 interview with DW, she attributed environmental degradation largely to greed and linked poverty alleviation to conservation efforts, noting that impoverished communities often destroy their environment out of necessity. Her TACARE program aimed to address these issues by engaging local Tanzanians in finding sustainable solutions.
