While many of us may not be well-versed with the scientific or anthropology community, most of us must have heard of Jane Goodall. This English woman has gained a massive fan base after she deciphered and studied the family and social life of chimpanzees. Her work has had a massive impact in the world of anthropology, and she was also named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in Time Magazine. Quite well-deserved!
Wouldn’t it be great if we could see the life of this activist and scientist up close? It would really inspire us and show how ordinary people also have the ability to do something extraordinary. Well, National Geography is all set to offer a closer look into the life of Jane Goodall. On April 22nd, Earth Day, a documentary on Jane Goodall, Jane Goodall: The Hope will premiere on Nat Geo WILD, Nat Geo, and Nat Geo Mundo.
The trailer is already out, and we can see the 60-year old career of this wonderful woman, working hard even now, so that she can promote her message of hope and fulfillment for our Green Planet.
If you did not know who Jane Goodall is, the trailer summary makes it clear as well. At the age of 26, Goodall made the discovery that chimpanzees were able to make use of tools. This development was new and really shook the world of anthropology. It set a new definition for human-animal relationships. The trailer also hints at the Jane Goodall Institute, which tries to instill hope in all of us through their actions, and hopes to help make a more positive world all around. Jane Goodall is a public speaker, advocate, and author. She travels around 300 days every year and spreads the message of hope and betterment to make this world a better place for everyone living in it.
The Jane Goodall Institute tries to protect chimpanzees and conserve the world of nature. As humans, we have wreaked havoc on the natural world. Now, it’s time to extend our kindness and start building a better world for the animal kingdom out there. As per the website, in 1900, around 1 million chimpanzees were living in the wild. Now, there are only around 340,000. We should do everything to protect our most near and dear species. As per the IUCN Red List, they are endangered.
Let’s make this world a positive world for both us and the animals who share this world with us. Let this documentary on Jane Goodall be an inspiration for all of us to step up our game in terms of kindness and consideration. And above everything else, in terms of Hope.
