Although Jane Goodall has already achieved extremely significant scientific results and improvements in animal protection and conservation, she still continues working at the age of 85. She brought the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots organization into being in over 100 countries. She spends most of her time in effort to protect chimpanzees and the environment with traveling (about 300 days a year). She goes back to Gombe National Park twice a year. She strives for animal rights, environmental concern and peace. She has meetings with governments to make them aware and to discuss what are the potential solutions and improvements for the conservational and environmental issues.

She keeps public lectures to educate people about threats to chimpanzees and environmental problems and to encourage them to make a difference. She not only inspires young people, but also listens their local environmental problems from first-hand and helps with working on solutions. She says that young people give her energy and enthusiasm. Jane also teaches at schools to make people from all ages to be aware that they have an impact with their decisions, individual action is important and they can contribute to conservation. She emphasizes that every individual has the power. Jane is a mind-bending and inspiring speaker – often even makes people to cry.

Jane remains positive, determined and hopeful all the time:
„It is easy to be overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness as we look around the world. We are losing species at a terrible rate, the balance of nature is disturbed, and we are destroying our beautiful planet. We have fear about water supplies, where future energy will come from – and most recently the developed world has been mired in an economic crisis. But in spite of all this I do have hope. And my hope is based on four factors: The Human Brain, The Indomitable Human Spirit, The Resilience of Nature and The Determination of Young People.”
