The Jane Goodall Institute is a global nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1977 that carries forward Dr. Jane Goodall's legacy through a network of chapters worldwide. Its programs combine scientific research with action, including ongoing animal behavior studies at the Gombe Stream Research Center in Tanzania and community-led habitat conservation using the Tacare approach. The organization also runs wildlife rehabilitation at the Tchimpounga sanctuary in the Republic of the Congo and supports youth empowerment through Roots & Shoots, active in many countries. Based in Washington, D.C., the Institute operates as a mid-sized nonprofit with international reach and focuses on protecting wildlife, uplifting communities, and inspiring future generations. In 2026, it announced a collaboration with ICEYE to deploy satellite-based deforestation monitoring across Congo Basin conservation corridors, illustrating its engagement with innovative tools in conservation.
