On October 1, the world said goodbye to Jane Goodall, the legendary primatologist and UN Messenger of Peace, at 91. Her decades-long research in Tanzania reshaped how we see chimpanzees—showing they have distinct personalities, feelings, and even names like “David Greybeard” and “Flo” 🐒.
From living among chimps in Gombe to leading global conservation efforts, Jane’s journey reminds us that respect and understanding are key bonds between humans and nature. In a memorable interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei, she emphasized that empathy is the first step toward protecting our planet 🌍.
Her work also inspires today’s tech-savvy youth to use innovation for good. Think eco-apps that track wildlife sightings or AI tools for habitat mapping—Jane would’ve loved how tech connects us with nature in real time 📱💚.
As young professionals in South and Southeast Asia, let’s carry forward her mission. Volunteer at local wildlife projects, support ethical eco-startups, or simply plant a tree in your community. Small actions spark global change! ✨
Jane Goodall’s legacy lives on in every act of kindness toward our fellow creatures. Let her story motivate us to build a future where nature and humanity thrive together.
