Dr. Jane Goodall

 Dr. Jane Goodall birth anniversary April 3 - 90 years around the sun!

Her New Year's message Dec. 2024

"From me, the warmest good wishes for your celebrations at the end of 2024 — a year-end celebration of all the amazing things you have all been doing to make this a better world.

Above all, have FUN.

With wishes also for the end of fighting, for the end of hate, for the spread of love and forgiveness.

These may seem unattainable goals right now but, as I always say, if we lose hope we are doomed for then we shall give up and fall into apathy.

For the sake of our children, all children, and the natural world we love, we cannot lose hope and must go on fighting to make our dreams become reality.

I am so proud of you all.

With my love,

Jane"
