On October 1, 2025, the world lost Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, UN Messenger of Peace. She passed away peacefully from natural causes while in California on her speaking tour doing what she loved most — sharing her message of hope.
Jane opened our eyes to the intelligence and emotions of chimpanzees. She showed us that every forest is alive, every creature matters, and every person has the power to make a difference. Her voice may be silent now, but her vision lives on. By giving today, you help rescue endangered wildlife, protect the natural world, and inspire new generations to step forward with courage and compassion.
Together we will keep Jane's vision moving forward and the future she believed is possible.
