Hope for the future

Abstract
Dr. Jane Goodall travels more than 300 days per year,
inspiring audiences of all ages with fascinating stories about
her pioneering work with chimpanzees; the education,
conservation and development programs of the Jane Goodall
Institute; and her reasons for hope that we can save
threatened species, the planet and ultimately ourselves. Dr.
Goodall will engage her audience and transport them to Africa
with stories of the chimpanzees she has known for nearly 50
years. They are still observed today at the Gombe Stream
National Park in Tanzania. This long-term study is using
satellite imagery such as QuickBird (DigitalGlobe) and ArcGIS
mapping tools (ESRI) to monitor chimpanzee habitats inside
and outside the park. Dr. Goodall will emphasize the
importance of the Jane Goodall Institute’s innovative
community-centered conservation projects in Africa and her
global Roots & Shoots network, which engages young people
from preschool through college in nearly 100 countries as
they take positive action in their communities and beyond. A
UN Messenger of Peace, Dr. Goodall will discuss why she has
hope for the future, and will encourage her audiences to
recognize their ability to effect change.
