Animal scientist and activist Jane Goodall

"Jane Goodall spent her childhood drawing animals and dreaming about visiting Africa to observe those animals up close. After a lifetime of pursuing that dream, Goodall has become one of the most renowned authorities on chimpanzee behavior.For nearly six decades, Goodall has observed, documented, and sometimes even lived with chimps. In a time when field research was mostly done by men, Goodall not only proved she was just as capable but also made discoveries that have revolutionized our understanding of animal behavior.".
