Today, the sky shines brighter, and the Earth falls quiet to honor her light. Dr. Jane Goodall was a beacon of hope—for those who deeply cared, and even for those who had yet to learn how. With every word, she radiated kindness, wisdom, and an unshakable belief that we are all a part of nature. RIP
