The Paulson Institute

Dr. Jane Goodall has long been an inspiration to both my wife, Wendy, and me. Her courage, intellect, and unwavering commitment to the natural world have left a profound mark on generations around the world.

What makes Dr. Goodall truly extraordinary is that she has spent her life advocating for the protection of nature, reminding us that biodiversity is essential to our survival, and teaching the next generation why it must be respected and preserved. Through her work with young people across the globe, she has instilled in millions the conviction that every individual can make a difference.

Dr. Jane Goodall inspired generations of conservationists and scientists. Through her pioneering work and her singular voice, she championed not only chimpanzees but the protection of the natural world. Hands-on experience in the field is essential to advancing conservation science or projects. Here, Jane Goodall was the pioneer and a standard setter. We thank her for her research, her advocacy, her legacy, and her message of hope.

While COP16 made important progress, much more work remains—particularly in financing and national action planning.
