30 years prior, in 1986, Jane attended the very same meeting and credited the conference as the catalyst to her pivot to activism.

The American Society of Primatology and its members mourn the passing of the Dr. Jane Goodall. We thank her for her service.

These photos are from Dr. Jane Goodall’s visit to the Chimpanzees in Context conference held in Chicago in 2016, a meeting for primatologists to gather and discuss chimpanzees and promote their conservation.

“I went to that conference as a scientist. I left four days later as an activist.”

She was, without question, the world’s greatest ambassador for primate conservation, and now it is up to each of us to keep her legacy alive and continue her work.

The American Society of Primatologists and its members mourn the passing yesterday of Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall was an outstanding scientist and educator, who inspired generations of global citizens to value and protect our natural world.

These primates are disappearing rapidly due to deforestation and hunting on Idjwi Island, located in Lake Kivu, within the Virunga ecosystem. We're fighting back with reforestation, education, and awareness campaigns, but we can't do it alone.

Volunteering - Action - Mobility (VAM ASBL), a grassroots non-profit working in eastern DRC since 1996, is calling on conservationists, researchers, and universities to join a urgent mission to protect blue monkeys (Cercopithecus mitis) from local extinction.
