Listen to Jane Goodall’s final — and urgent — message

7 comments

1. Hi r/climate. Jane Goodall, one of the most influential environmental figures in human history, has died at 91 while doing what she’s done for most of her later years — touring the country to deliver an urgent message about nature and human existence.

   Goodall, who revolutionized what we know about chimpanzees and animal intelligence, was interviewed as recently as last week, during New York City Climate Week. And her message was clear, consistent, and timely.

   “It seems these days everybody is so involved with technology that we forget that we’re not only part of the natural world, we’re an animal like all the others,” Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, a conservation group, said last week during the Forbes Sustainability Leaders Summit in NYC. 

2. Goodbye to one of the most amazing people who walked this earth. I’m so grateful I lived at the same time. I’m so sad she is gone.

3. Going to watch Tarzan tonight. Sad to see Jane Goodall go, was a real one.

4. An amazing and wonderful person. The world is darker without her. She was one of the greatest fighters for Earth. She will leave a hole in my heart, but we honour her memory by honouring the world she fought for, and continuing the good fight.

5. If we would all just listen to Jane. RIP.

6. May we pick up her torch and carry on the good work. She was a hero to me. Rest in Peace Jane.

7. So grateful for her life and work!
