Admission is free & open to the public, but seating is limited for this evening with Dr. Jane Goodall. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., and tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In her presentation, Dr. Jane Goodall, world-renowned primatologist, environmentalist and humanitarian, will address current work at the Gombe Stream Research Center in Tanzania, where research into our closest relative—the chimpanzee—has been ongoing since 1960. She also will discuss the Jane Goodall Institute programs that have evolved to conserve precious forest habitat and to improve the lives of people living adjacent to Gombe National Park and in other parts of Africa.
Dr. Goodall will also speak to the exciting work of her global youth program Roots & Shoots, which is active in more than 100 countries worldwide. Through this powerful and innovative program, youth of all ages, preschool through college, improve their communities through service learning projects that promote care and concern for people, animals, and the environment. As a United Nations Messenger of Peace, Dr. Goodall will address her reasons for hope in these complex times and ways in which every individual can make a difference every day.
