Description: Jane Goodall's account of her life among the wild chimpanzees of Gombe.
Brief description:
JANE GOODALL (1934 - 2025) founded the Gombe Stream Research Center in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, and the Jane Goodall Institute for Wild Life Research, Education, and Conservation to provide ongoing support for field research on wild chimpanzees. She is the author of many books, including two autobiographies in letters, Africa in My Blood and Beyond Innocence. Dr. Goodall continued to study and write about primate behavior throughout her life. She spent much of her time lecturing, sharing her message of hope for the future, and encouraging young people to make a difference in their world.
