Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues Dr. Goodall’s pioneering research on chimpanzee behavior—research that transformed scientific perceptions of the relationship between humans and animals. Today, the Institute is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It also is widely recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs across the chimpanzee range in African countries, and the Roots & Shoots global environmental and humanitarian youth program, which has groups in over 50 countries worldwide.
