My Life with the Chimpanzees - Jane Goodall

Descriere My Life with the Chimpanzees - Jane Goodall

This autobiography written for younger readers is illustrated throughout withmany photos of the author's childhood and years in Africa. \nInspired by a stuffed toy, Jane Goodall became the first woman to study chips in the wild and in the process made history. \nAs a child, Jane Goodall was given a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee, and she has said her fondness for this figure started her early love of animals. While others thought Jane would be terrified by the toy, she adored it and it inspired a life-long love of animals in her. \n \nJane dreamed of a life spent working with animals, and when she was twenty-six years old, she ventured into the forests of Africa to observe chimpanzees in the wild. During her expeditions she braved many dangers and she got to know an amazing group of wild chimpanzees--intelligent animals whose lives, in work and play and family relationships, bear a surprising resemblance to our own. Through her work at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania and her own Roots and Shoots program she has become a tireless advocate for animals and the planet. \n \nAs for that stuffed toy, Jubilee still sits on Goodall's dresser in London.\n
