JANE GOODALL
Jane Goodall was borned in 1934 in London, England. She is considered to
be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. She is the founder of the Jane
Goodall Institute and The Rhoots and Shoots program. Since she was a child she
wanted to travel to Africa to investigate the animals and then to write a book
about those animals. She was working in Oxford when a friend from Kenya
invited her to go there. So she spent
four month working as a waitress to earn money to travel.
She started to study in the community of chimpanzees in Kasakela,
Tanzania. Instead of counting the chimpanzees she gave them names and she
realized they had unique and individual personalities and they could feel
happiness and sadness. Because of her investigations we know that humans and
chimpanzees are similar. Her work is considered like the most important in
zoology. After 55 years studing the chimpanzees social and family life, she won several prices and she wrote a lot of books. We could say that she made her dream come true.
