Jane Goodall was born in London, England in 1934 and became a renowned primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist. She went alone into the jungles of Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania at age 26 to study chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Her research revolutionized the understanding of chimpanzees and their capabilities. She established that they make and use tools, eat meat, and engage in war. Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. She has received many honors for her pioneering research and conservation efforts, including being named a UN Messenger of Peace.
