Jane Goodall - National Geographic, Protector of Wildlife and Forests
Dr. Jane Goodall went into the forest to study the remarkable lives of chimpanzees—and she came out of the forest to save them. When she discovered that the survival of their species was threatened by habitat destruction and illegal trafficking, she developed a breakthrough approach to species conservation that improves the lives of people, animals and the environment by honoring their connectedness to each other. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to ensure that her vision and life’s work continue to mobilize the collective power of individual action to save the natural world we all share.
Forests are so much more than the “lungs of the earth.” The balance of all that allows life to flourish on Earth is dependent upon the function of forests, for more reasons than you may know. Global forests are in fact the mechanism that absorbs much of the excess carbon emissions and releases oxygen into the atmosphere. Deforestation and forest degradation contributes as much as 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions each year–rivaling emissions from transportation globally. The importance of tropical forests because of their size and geography, including their ability to store carbon and thereby slow climate change, cannot be emphasized enough. At the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit, Dr. Goodall and JGI are taking a stand – the forgotten solution is seeing the trees for the forest, and we must do something to protect these environments before it is too late.
