Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars, and her fascination with wildlife, Jane Goodall braved a realm of unknowns to give the world a remarkable window into humankind’s closest living relatives. Through nearly 60 years of groundbreaking work, Dr. Jane Goodall has not only shown us the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction; she has also redefined species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. Today she travels the world, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees and environmental crises, urging each of us to take action on behalf of all living things and planet we share.
Jane continues her work today by travelling an average of 300 days per year speaking in venues around the world about the threats facing chimpanzees, other environmental crises, and her reasons for hope that we will ultimately solve the problems that we have imposed on the earth.
Jane continually urges her audiences to recognize their personal power and responsibility to effect positive change through consumer action, lifestyle change and activism: “Every individual counts,” she says. “Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
Founded by renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, the Jane Goodall Institute is a global nonprofit dedicated to wildlife research, education and conservation. The Jane Goodall Institute (Hong Kong) Limited (“JGIHK”), a charitable organisation, was established in 2002.
We work closely with local communities, nurturing a sense of ownership and responsibility for conservation efforts. We support youth-led initiatives to fostering sustainable practices. We support outreach programs to create a strong network of advocates of all ages who drive environmental change.
We strive to conserve wildlife and protect natural habitats through science-based initiatives. By promoting ESG principles, we advocate for a sustainable future for all living beings
We inspire individuals to make conscious choices that strike sustainable balance between environmental and human well-being. Through education and awareness, we encourage responsible actions that positively impact the planet.Together, we empower the youth and local communities, instilling confidence and hope, as they become the driving force in creating a harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife. Join us on this transformative journey towards a sustainable future, where collective action shapes a thriving and socially responsible world.
There are JGIs making a difference around the world everyday. Our approach as a global conservation organization has always been community-centered, while working together across sectors, regions and cultures to make the greatest impact. This means improving the lives of people, animals, and the environment through international and local collaboration, and having the people who know their communities best take the lead in creating positive change. We inspire hope through the collective power of individual action – finding the best way to advance conservation where it’s needed most.
