This scientist who studies chimpanzees (and lived with them) is also on a mission to save the environment!
When she was little, Jane Goodall loved animals- all of them, from dogs, to the worms in her garden, to her favorite stuffed toy, Jubilee the chimpanzee. And when she grew up, she wanted to learn everything she could about the natural world. So Jane traveled to Africa and set up a new home in the jungle, becoming one of the first people to study chimpanzees in the wild and discover a way to gain their trust. Today, she is one of the world’s most important scientists, environmentalists, and champions of animal rights.
