Jane Goodall captivated me as a young person. I was inspired by images and footage of her work in the field, studying primates, when she carried around a notebook and pencil and observed social behaviors in the wild from a distance.
I loved that she strove to understand her surroundings and other animals. That spirit continues to inspire me in how I wish to life my own life: with curiosity, respect, and kindness.
I’m not alone in my admiration and gratitude. Thank you, Dr. Goodall.
