Jane Goodall, Ph. D., was born in London, England. She will long be remembered for her groundbreaking career as a primatologist, an ethologist, an anthropologist, a humanitarian, & an environmentalist. She has passed away at 91 years old near Los Angeles in Pasadena, California while on a United States tour.
"In the final months of her life, Jane Goodall, the legendary conservationist, marked her birthday in a heartwarming celebration surrounded by 90 dogs, each with a unique story of survival. These loyal companions gathered to honor the woman who devoted her life to protecting animals."
It seems like Jane knew her passing was imminent.

Sir David Attenborough has broken his silence following the heartbreaking loss of his longtime friend and collaborator, Dr. Jane Goodall . With tears in his eyes, he said quietly, “I knew something had happened… even before the call came. It was as if the world suddenly went still.” For over half a century, David and Jane shared a mission — to protect the planet and give a voice to the voiceless. Their friendship went far beyond documentaries and conservation work; it was built on mutual respect, compassion, and an unspoken understanding of their life’s purpose. “She was more than a colleague,” David added. “She was my compass — reminding me why we fight for nature in the first place.” Now, as the world mourns Jane’s passing, Sir David stands determined to fulfill her final wish: to continue her mission and keep her spirit alive through his work.
