In tribute
It is with deep sadness and immense respect that the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation pays tribute to the illustrious and unforgettable primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall.
She has laid the foundations for a science that has profoundly marked our understanding of Man's closest relatives. The WCF continues its work in the same spirit of passion for conservation and science that Jane initiated so many years ago and pursued throughout her life.
Our deepest thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and with all those who mourn the loss of this exceptional woman.
