Jane Goodall Calls for Climate Change Action to Save Planet at Global Citizen Festival
In front of 60,000 global citizens, Dr. Jane Goodall spoke chimpanzee on the Global Citizen Festival stage to roaring cheers earlier this evening.
Goodall is best known for her kinship with chimpanzees. For decades, she lived with, observed, and learned about them.
In the process, she utterly transformed the scientific and cultural understanding of the species.
She also transformed how humans perceive animals and nature in general. She helped popularize the idea that, rather than being separate and above the world, humans are intimately entwined with all that surrounds them.
And because of this closeness, she advocated throughout her life, humans must respect nature and allow it to thrive.
