It is with profound sadness that the Jane Goodall Institute confirms the passing of its beloved founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, at the age of 91. She passed away peacefully in her sleep in Los Angeles, California, while on a speaking tour across the United States.
A true warrior and guiding light for all animals, Dr. Goodall devoted her life to understanding, protecting, and giving a voice to the natural world. From her groundbreaking research with chimpanzees in Gombe National Park, to her tireless advocacy around the globe, she forever transformed the way we see animals and our responsibility to care for God’s precious creatures.
We were deeply honored to meet her in 2019 when she spoke at Los Angeles City Hall, an experience that left a lasting impression on us all. Dr. Goodall inspired generations to fight for wildlife, protect nature, and understand that even the smallest actions can make a lasting impact in this world. Her message was always one of hope, compassion, and unwavering commitment to all animals and God’s precious Earth.
As we mourn her passing, let us also come together to continue her fight to protect God’s beautiful creatures and the world she loved so deeply. May we carry her legacy forward with courage, kindness, and faith.
Rest in Heaven, Dr. Jane Goodall, a true guardian of creation and a legendary voice for the voiceless.
