Here you can watch the video of Jane Goodall’s conference presentation, given by Joan Vergés (Ferrater Mora Chair), Ferran Guallar (Jane Goodall Foundation Spain), and Olga Feliu (Mona Foundation).

You can also watch the Jane Goodall Institute’s documentary screenings about Jane Goodall, which she herself requested be shown before her lecture.

And finally, Jane Goodall’s lecture What I learnt from Chimpanzees.

Dr. Jane Goodall remains fully active in promoting science and education and is recognized worldwide as one of the world’s most prominent scientific figures and one of the most outstanding conservationists and environmentalists.

Seen in historical perspective, it is fair to say that Goodall’s study of wild chimpanzees and their habitats, begun more than 55 years ago in Tanzania, has radically changed the way we think about chimpanzees and humans themselves. Her innovative fieldwork methodology (consisting of understanding chimpanzees as individuals with their own minds, emotions, and personalities) has revolutionized the way science is done in this field. Decades of research in the wild have yielded unique findings on chimpanzee ethology (tool making, feeding, social structure, distribution areas, mother-infant relationships) and have inspired hundreds of researchers to continue and expand not only their work in this and related areas, but also to become involved in the conservation of great apes around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is a global nonprofit organization founded in 1977 by Dr. Goodall, whose mission is: “To understand and protect chimpanzees and other great apes and their habitats, and to inspire and empower people to make the world a better place for animals and humans in a healthy environment.”

Based on Dr. Jane Goodall’s scientific work and humanitarian vision, the IJG’s global objectives focus on:

• Non-invasive research on chimpanzees and other primates in their natural habitats, as well as in captivity, to improve their conditions;
• Education and public awareness through various initiatives such as the Roots & Shoots environmental program, with some 700,000 participants in more than 50 countries, which encourages young people to take action to protect living beings and promote understanding among all cultures;
• Conservation of species and the environment through the sustainable development of local African communities (sustainable agriculture, school scholarships, reforestation, family planning workshops, microcredits, health facilities, water wells, ecotourism, fair trade, among others), providing alternatives to destructive practices such as poaching, species trafficking, deforestation, pollution, and poor resource management.

On the occasion of his visit to Girona, the University of Girona, through its Green Office, joined the Mobilize for the Rainforest campaign, installing mobile phone collection bins in all its faculties.

 “Movilízate por la selva” is a mobile phone recycling campaign created by the Jane Goodall Institute Spain as part of its Roots & Shoots environmental education program, with the support of primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall, winner of the 2003 Prince of Asturias Award, the 2015 International Catalonia Prize, and a United Nations Messenger of Peace.

The campaign aims to extend the useful life of our cell phones, while offering citizens a simple and free way to donate unused cell phones (whether they work or not), which will allow us to:

• reuse devices and reduce the unsustainable demand for their components
• recycle useful elements and properly dispose of toxic materials, preventing environmental pollution
• raise funds for projects supporting the development of Congolese citizens and for education and conservation programs in the Democratic Republic of Congo, such as the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center. There, the Jane Goodall Institute cares for more than 150 rescued chimpanzees, the vast majority of which arrived in terrible condition after being confiscated from hunters, traffickers, or private individuals. The funds are also allocated to reforestation and chimpanzee conservation projects in Senegal, and to educational projects for children in the Republic
