Forty years after her first Beatty lecture in 1979, Dr. Goodall returns to talk about the critical need for environmental stewardship and the power each individual has to bring about change. In the history of the Beatty Lecture, Dr. Goodall is the only lecturer who has been invited to deliver the Beatty banner a second time.
Equipped with little more than a notebook, binoculars and a passionate interest in wildlife, Jane Goodall ventured into the forests of Tanzania nearly sixty years ago to begin her ground-breaking research on chimpanzees. Since that time, Dr. Goodall has not only impressed upon the world the urgent need to protect chimpanzees from extinction; she has also helped redefine species conservation to include the needs of local people and the environment. Today she travels the globe 300 days a year, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees and environmental crises, urging each of us to take action on behalf of all living creatures and the planet we share.
