Sowing the Seeds of Hope

At this fund-raising event, Dr. Goodall will provide insight into the person behind the globe-trotting international icon: a UN Messenger of Peace, Dame of the British Empire, and the subject of countless articles and television programs around the world. She will also discuss the current threats facing the planet and her reasons for hope in these complex times, encouraging everyone in the audience to do their part to make a positive difference each and every day. Dr. Goodall will also share information about the work of the Jane Goodall Institute, which continues her pioneering research and celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2012. Today, the Institute is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It also is widely recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, the Institute’s global environmental and humanitarian youth program.

Dr. Jane Goodall began her pioneering research with wild chimpanzees in what is now known as Gombe Stream National Park 55 years ago. Because of Dr. Goodall and other dedicated researchers, these chimpanzees have been documented, photographed, and filmed perhaps more than any other wild creature. The Jane Goodall Institute's conservation efforts continue today across the entire chimpanzee range. A renowned primatologist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace, she was made a Dame of the British Empire in 2004.

Seating in Rows AA to D include a VIP meet and greet wine reception from 5:30pm-6:45pm with Dr. Jane Goodall and Robert Bateman in the mezzanine lobby of the McPherson Playhouse on March 19th.
