Overview
From world-renowned scientist Jane Goodall, as seen in the National Geographic documentary Jane , comes an inspiring message about the future of the animal kingdom. With the insatiable curiosity and conversational prose that have made her a bestselling author, Goodall--along with Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard--shares fascinating survival stories about the American Crocodile, the California Condor, the Black-Footed Ferret, and more; all formerly endangered species and species once on the verge of extinction whose populations are now being regenerated. Interweaving her own first-hand experiences in the field with the compelling research of premier scientists, Goodall illuminates the heroic efforts of dedicated environmentalists and the truly critical need to protect the habitats of these beloved species. At once a celebration of the animal kingdom and a passionate call to arms, Hope For Animals Their World presents an uplifting, hopeful message for the future of animal-human coexistence.
"Goodall's intimate writing style and sense of wonder pull the reader into each account ... The mix of personal and scientific makes for a compelling read."
-- Booklist
"These accounts of conservation success are inspirational."
-- Publishers Weekly
Jane Goodall
Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, is a pioneering primatologist and anthropologist known for her ground-breaking work on chimpanzee behavior in the wild. Gaining global recognition through her detailed observations of chimpanzee social and family interactions, Goodall's books such as In the Shadow of Man and The Chimpanzees of Gombe: Patterns of Behavior have become seminal texts in primatology. Her research shifted the understanding of animal behavior and emphasized the need for conservation, marking her as a profound influence in the scientific community and beyond.
Born on April 3, 1934, in London, England, Jane Goodall ventured to Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania in 1960 without formal scientific training but armed with an unyielding curiosity about animals, at the urging of paleontologist Louis Leakey. Beyond her scientific pursuits, Goodall emphasizes environmental advocacy, founding the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and initiating the Roots & Shoots program in 1991, aimed at inspiring young people to take action for sustainable development. Her personal life, marked by her passion for observing animals and connecting human responsibility to conservation, continues to influence her ongoing work and public engagements.
