See Chimpanzee, Save Chimpanzees
Disneynature’s newest True-Life Adventure introduces Oscar,a young chimp whose playful curiosity and zest for discovery light up the African forest until a twist of fate leaves Oscar to fend for himself with a little help from an unexpected ally.
See “Chimpanzee” the week it opens—April 20-26. For that one week only, Disneynature will contribute 20 cents per ticket to JGI to protect wild chimpanzees.

Happy Birthday Jane Goodall !
April 3, 2012,
As Jane turned 78 years young, she spent her birthday in one of her favorite places on Earth…other than Gombe National Park that is! She watched the annual migration of the sandhill cranes in Nebraska’s Plate River Valley.
Of course, Jane is never one to take a day off like the rest of us and so she is also busily finalizing her latest book while in the middle of her spring 2012 North American speaking tour.
Like you, we at the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) are inspired by our founder each and every day. As Jane says: “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.” We live and breath that motto every day at JGI.
How has Jane inspired you? We would love to hear how Jane has impacted your life and of course, have you wish her a happy birthday too. We’ll be sure to share your messages with her!

I love her books. She is an amazing person! When asked if she believed in God, Goodall said in September 2010: “I don’t have any idea of who or what God is. But I do believe in some great spiritual power. I don’t know what to call it. I feel it particularly when I’m out in nature. It’s just something that’s bigger and stronger than what I am or what anybody is. I feel it. And it’s enough for me.”
Goodall is a devoted vegetarian and advocates the diet for ethical, environmental, and health reasons. In The Inner World of Farm Animals, Goodall writes that farm animals are “far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent? Goodall has also said, “Thousands of people who say they ‘love’ animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated so with little respect and kindness just to make more meat.”
Goodall has received many honours for her environmental and humanitarian work and more, she is one of few women I look up too!!!!!
She is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
