Tho­se who love ani­mals, not just pri­ma­tes, are sad­de­ned by the news. On the past 1st of Octo­ber, Dr. Jane Goo­dall left us, a role model for everyone.

A per­son that arri­ved in Tan­za­nia, at a very young age, to study Gombe’s chim­pan­zees, and that has greatly con­tri­bu­ted to the scien­ce and con­ser­va­tion of chimps, and ove­rall, to great apes. She didn’t settle for this, as many other scien­tists and pro­fes­sio­nals do. She didn’t stop clim­bing steps: chan­ging the con­di­tions of pri­ma­tes and other ani­mals in labo­ra­tory set­tings, brin­ging stan­ces together and kno­wing the work of zoos in con­ser­va­tion, crea­ting groups world­wi­de to help the envi­ron­ment, and tra­ve­lling for over 300 days a year (even at her 91 years of age) to sha­re the mes­sa­ge of pro­tec­tion of the envi­ron­ment, res­pect to the ani­mals under human pro­duc­tion, and many other cau­ses too great to detail.

We sha­re a pic­tu­re of Jane’s bra­ve and pio­neer era, as well as one of her current incom­bus­ti­ble dame that sha­red hope and pas­sion, and lastly, a pic­tu­re of her with SOS pri­ma­tes.

We send a big hug to the @Instituto Jane Goo­dall Espa­ña, whe­re we have great friends with which we have enjo­yed talks and companionship.

Today, all chim­pan­zees are orphans, and for us, the world has lost a great pro­tec­tor. Rest in peace.
