Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist whose chimpanzee research in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park revolutionised understandings of animal intelligence, died on October 1, 2025, at age 91 from natural causes in California during a U.S. speaking tour.
She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to protect habitats and communities through education, influencing global conservation efforts.
Tributes from President Joe Biden and the United Nations highlight her activism and message of hope for environmental protection.
