When Dr. Jane would speak about death, she spoke with the same curiosity and courage that defined her work.

When she set out for Gombe, Jane took only her notebook and her binoculars.
She never could have known what she would see out there – but, with time, she would transform the scientific world.
She also transformed our understanding of our relationship to chimpanzees.

Dr. Jane spent years spreading her hopeful message, inspiring millions to act with real courage and bravery.
She did this because she knew – from her time in the wild – what the consequences of inaction were. Take a look.

Kabi was only two years old when he was found by park rangers and brought to Tchimpounga.
Safe from poachers, Kabi was weak when he showed up and needed immediate treatment for parasites. The team at Tchimpounga made sure he got the care he needed, and he was able to recover.

When we come together, we can make an incredible difference.
"It may seem a small thing to pick up pieces of litter every day," Dr. Jane said. "But if there are a million people picking up pieces of litter [...] think of the amount of litter that will be picked up!"

"That's the message: There's always hope – if we get together and take action."
Dr. Jane knew that young people across the country and around the world could "make the world – again – a better place. The way it was. The way it can be. And the way it will be."

"I was nearly sent away from Cambridge!"
She had one more year to go, and yet Dr. Jane was almost sent away from school. But why?
The book she wrote for the National Geographic had just come out – and that had not gone over well.

Dr. Jane transformed our understanding of chimpanzees – and opened our eyes to just how similar we, as humans, are. But we have our differences, too!
"If I have to pick one thing that makes us more different from other animals than anything else, it’s the explosive development of our intellect."

One year ago, an infant gorilla was rescued. Her name was Mozambique – but she has also been known around here as "ZZ."
Though she was scared when she came to Tchimpounga, dedicated guardians took good care of her – and ZZ's now healthy, energetic, and thriving.

You may know Dr. Jane for her work with chimpanzees – but she said that dogs were her favourite animal!
Chimpanzees were too similar to humans, she said, to be her favourite animal. But dogs showed her how animals possess intelligence, personalities, and emotions.
