Dr. Jane Goodall, who will be remembered as an animal supporter and a famous chimpanzee researcher, died for natural reasons, the Jane Goodall Institute said in a Wednesday’s report.
She was 91.
“Dr. Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolution, and it was a tireless proponent of the protection and recovery of our natural world,” her death statement said.

Goodall was in California at the time of death, speaking a tour after the US, the report said.
Goodall became famous for his work with chimpanzees. In the 1960s, Goodall began studying animals in Tanzania. She has published the first few chimpanzees tools, communication and complex social structures in scientific magazines.
Her work has opened the way in the outdoor research of decades of primate in the natural environment.
“Long and great life has led to – said Ingrid NewkirkFounder People for ethical behavior of animals or Peta. Goodall ‘PETA helped to finish chimpanzees captured in infertile, solid metal cameras experiments, raised what we unveiled and her visit to see the worst day of my life.
According to the Jane Goodall Institute, which she founded in 1977, she “went out into the forest to study the extraordinary life of chimpanzees – and she left the forest to save them.”

According to the Foundation’s website, when Goodall realized that the destruction of habitats and illegal trade was threatened to survive the survival of chimpanzees, it “created a breakthrough attitude towards the preservation of species that improves the life of humans, animals and the environment, honoring their connection to each other.”
Goodall was 26 when she first visited Tanzania to see the world of wild chimpanzees. The foundation said she was following a “unconventional approach” to her research, “immersing himself in its habitat and life to experience his complex society as a neighbor, not to a distant observer.”
Goodall sat down with “Call Dad” host Alex Cooper in an almost hour -long interview about her life and her work earlier this year.
For Cooper, she noted that she was lucky, that she did not have to fight for the place where the men dominated when she started her job because there was almost no field at the time. The first expedition to study in Tanzania was studying a budget budget funded by a philanthropist, and the British government would only support it if it had something with herself.
Her mother, who always supported her dreams, volunteered with her, Goodall said.
“Everyone said, ‘It’s funny. I mean you don’t have the money, Africa’s far away and you are just a girl, “said Goodall Cooper.” Not my mom. She said that if you really want to do something similar, you will have to work really hard, take every opportunity and if you don’t give up, I hope you find the way. “
This is the message she said she shared with the world.
Goodall had only six months of funding, and the first four months were fruitless because the primates were too gloomy to watch it close enough. But one has finally adapted to her presence long enough to make it a breakthrough discovery that chimpanzees create and use tools in nature.
“The reason why it was so exciting was that at the time, Western science thought that only people used and made tools. We were defined as a man, a tool manufacturer,” Goodall recalled. “And because when I was writing to my mentor Louis Leakey, he just got so excited.”
This discovery has led to National Geographic’s interest and funding and eventually changed the course of goodall career.
