Separation is always the illusion. And the most interesting people are the ones who come along and break it. #JaneGoodall

Dr. #Goodall was a real one. Forever changing the way we look at animals by treating them as beings, not subjects. Approaching nature in a spirit of humility rather than mastery. Tirelessly advocating for a better world. I can’t think of a better legacy. RIP to one of my heroes.
