In 2020, PBS News Hour's Jeffrey Brown spoke to Goodall about her work and the legacy she may leave behind.
"The main message that I have is that every single one of us, every single day, we make some impact on the planet," Goodall said. "And we have a choice as to what impact we make."

This is hilarious. Even the Dutch are way ahead of us in seeing how bad things are in the United States with Donald Trump running amok and corporations capitulating to fascism.
But, then again, the Netherlands has experience with being taken over by fascists.
