The general public was introduced to Jane Goodall's life work via Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees , first broadcast on American television on December 22, Filmed by her first husband, and narrated by Orson Welles , the documentary showed the shy but determined young English woman patiently watching these animals in their natural habitat, and the chimpanzees soon became a staple of American and British public television.
Through these programs, Goodall challenged scientists to redefine the long-held "differences" between humans and other primates. In , additional footage from the Miss Goodall shooting was pieced together for Jane , a documentary that included recent interviews with the famed activist to create a more encompassing narrative of her experiences with the chimps.
Goodall's academic credentials were solidified when she received a Ph. Goodall subsequently held a visiting professorship in psychiatry at Stanford University from to , and in , she was appointed to her longtime position of honorary visiting professor of zoology at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
After attending a conference in Chicago that focused on the ethical treatment of chimpanzees, Goodall began directing her energies toward educating the public about the wild chimpanzee's endangered habitat and about the unethical treatment of chimpanzees that are used for scientific research.
To preserve the wild chimpanzee's environment, Goodall encourages African nations to develop nature-friendly tourism programs, a measure that makes wildlife into a profitable resource. She actively works with businesses and local governments to promote ecological responsibility.
Goodall's stance is that scientists must try harder to find alternatives to the use of animals in research. She has openly declared her opposition to militant animal rights groups who engage in violent or destructive demonstrations. Extremists on both sides of the issue, she believes, polarize thinking and make constructive dialogue nearly impossible. While reluctantly resigned to the continuation of animal research, she feels that young scientists must be educated to treat animals more compassionately.
Goodall's fieldwork led to the publication of numerous articles and books. In the Shadow of Man , her first major work, appeared in The book, essentially a field study of chimpanzees, effectively bridged the gap between scientific treatise and popular entertainment. Her vivid prose brought the chimps to life, revealing an animal world of social drama, comedy and tragedy, although her tendency to attribute human behaviors and names to chimpanzees struck some critics being as manipulative.
Goodall outlined the moral dilemma of keeping chimpanzees captive in her book, Through a Window : "The more we learn of the true nature of nonhuman animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding complex social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as 'pets,' for food, in research laboratories or any of the other uses to which we subject them," she wrote.
Her work, The Chimpanzee Family Book , written specifically for children, sought to convey a more humane view of wildlife. Many of Goodall's endeavors are conducted under the auspices of the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation, a nonprofit organization that promotes the protection of chimpanzees and strong environmental practices.
Founded in , the organization is based in Virginia but boasts some two dozen offices around the world. When Leakey and Jane begin a study of wild chimpanzees on the shore of Lake Tanganyika, British authorities resist the idea of a young woman living among wild animals in Africa.
They finally agree to Leakey's proposal when Jane's mother Vanne volunteers to accompany her daughter for the first three months. But studying the chimpanzees of Gombe was not easy. The animals fled from Jane in fear. With patience and determination she searched the forest every day, deliberately trying not to get too close to the chimpanzees too soon. Gradually the chimpanzees accepted her presence. Jane observes meat-eating for the first time October 30, Later, she sees the chimpanzees hunt for meat.
These observations disprove the widely held belief that chimpanzees are vegetarian. On November 4, , Jane observes David Greybeard and Goliath making tools to extract termites from their mounds. They would select a thin branch from a tree, strip the leaves and push the branch into the termite mound.
After a few seconds they would pull out the termite-covered stick and pick off the tasty termites with their lips. This becomes one of Jane's most important discoveries. Until that time, only humans were thought to create tools. Pratt, Paula Bryant. Jane Goodall. Toggle navigation.
