The Parliament is elated to announce that Dr. Jane Goodall will be delivering a keynote address on the damage of war to the natural world at the 2015 Parliament.
Jane Goodall is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, is a United Nations Messenger of Peace, and is celebrated around the world for her groundbreaking studies on the behavior of wild chimpanzees.In 1960, Jane Goodall began her landmark study of chimpanzee behavior in what is now Tanzania. Her work at Gombe Stream would become the foundation of future primatological research and redefine the relationship between humans and animals. In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute, which continues the Gombe research and is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. The Institute is widely recognized for innovative, community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, the global environmental and humanitarian youth program.
Dr. Goodall founded Roots & Shoots with a group of Tanzanian students in 1991. Today, Roots & Shoots connects hundreds of thousands of youth in more than 130 countries who take action to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment. Dr. Goodall travels an average 300 days per year, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees, other environmental crises, and her reasons for hope that humankind will solve the problems it has imposed on the earth.
At the 2015 Parliament, Goodall’s address will explore how society can overcome the cyclical relationship between two of the Parliament’s critical issues, War, Violence and Hate Speech and Climate Change.
