Born in London in 1934, Goodall began her research on free-living chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960. Her observation of a chimpanzee named David Greybeard using tools was a groundbreaking discovery that challenged the notion of humans as the only species capable of making tools.
In 1977, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute. The organization is dedicated to the protection of great apes and their habitats and supports youth projects aimed at environmental and animal welfare.
