PHOTO ESSAY: A life in pictures: The legacy of Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall who passed away on 1 October 2025 is regarded as a pioneer in primate ethology. She was best known for her more than six decades of field research on the social and family life of wild chimpanzees at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. She later founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to promote wildlife conservation, followed by the Roots and Shoots youth programme in 1991, which grew into a global network. She also established sanctuaries and reforestation projects in Africa and campaigned for the ethical treatment of animals in research, farming, and captivity. Goodall was appointed a United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2002.
