Jane Goodall's last interview (Sept. 2025)
(dreamlion) Oct. 2, 2025: Recorded on September 23, 2025 (eight days before her death on October 1, 2025) for the Wallstreet Journal's "Journal Podcast," and published online by the Wall Street Journal on September 26, 2025.
VEGAN Dr. Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, was a remarkable example of courage and conviction, working tirelessly throughout her life to raise awareness about threats to wildlife, promote conservation, and inspire a more harmonious, sustainable relationship between people, animals, and the natural world. She passed away in her sleep. in the latter part of her life, she expanded her focus as a vegan/vegetarian and became a global advocate for human rights, animal welfare, species and environmental protection, and many other crucial issues. Donate to her legacy
"I stopped by the end of 60-something like that," Jane said of eating meat. The legendary Dr. Goodall has lived a life full of compassion and advocating for animals, sharing her immense knowledge with generations of people eager to soak up her wisdom. Dr. Goodall's climate activism has been astoundingly inspiring for countless compassionate people seeking a better, safer, healthier world, and she has clearly lived a long life as an environmental leader and role model.

She was considered the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, having studied the social and family interactions of wild chimps for over 60 years. She was scheduled to speak in Pasadena today, Oct. 1, 2025, for the local chapter of her Roots & Shoots and later this week at UCLA's Royce Hall.
Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees: National Geographic's 1965 documentary follows the experiences of British zoologist Jane Goodall, who spent five years studying chimps in Tanzania's Gombe Stream Preserve and discusses her belief that thorough understanding of chimpanzee behavior will lead humans toward a clearer understanding of themselves. (ThisOldVideo2: This is the 1988 edited version posted Feb. 6, 2021).
Another of Dr. Louis Leakey's legacies stems from his role in fostering field research of primates in their natural habitats, which he saw as key to understanding human evolution. He personally focused on three female researchers:
Jane Goodall,
Dian Fossey,
Birutė Galdikas.
He called them "The Trimates" [2][3]. Each went on to become an important scholar in the field of primatology. Leakey encouraged and supported many other doctoral (Ph.D.) candidates, most notably from Cambridge. As well, Leakey played a role in creating organizations for future research in Africa and for protecting wildlife. More
Death comes to us all. I wish I'd prepared more.
Goodall (born Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall and formerly known as Baroness Jane van Lawick-Goodall) first went to Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania, Africa, to observe its chimpanzees in 1960 [4].
As the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots program, Goodall has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues.
SUMMARY: The use of fermented foods and drinks by humans is so widespread as to be considered ubiquitous, with their use largely linked to dietary benefits and social bonding [123].
The discovery of a molecular adaptation in an alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme that greatly increased ethanol metabolism in the common ancestor of African apes suggests that the incorporation of fermented fruit in the human diet [such as kombucha and fermented relishes and foods] has ancient origins [4].
However, little is known about the inclusion of ethanolic foods in the diet of nonhuman great apes. Here [at Science Direct], we document for the first time the repeated ingestion and sharing of naturally fermented African breadfruit (Treculia africana) with confirmed ethanol (alcohol), by wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) [humans' last common ancestor] in Cantanhez [Forests] National Park, [Southern] Guinea-Bissau.
Widespread plant food sharing in great apes and the recent confirmation of ethanol presence in diverse fruit species [5] suggest the sharing, and dietary incorporation, of ethanol-containing foods is extensive and may have played a long-standing role in hominoid societies.
What happened? More than 1,500 people showed up from in and around Pasadena to welcome the great, albeit softspoken, doctor and environmental icon. She told the story of her life, gave reasons for hope that our planet can be saved, then took questions submitted by students. What can we all do to save animals, save humans, and save the forests? Go vegan, plant-based, vegetarian, or intermittently veggie. Join a local chapter of Jane Goodall's Root & Shoots, and consider that every decision we make individually about a clean environment adds up (forming collective action) until, one day, it's clean and restored.
Conservation icon Dr. Jane Goodall will speak in Pasadena on March 30, 2025. This inspiring afternoon with Dr. Goodall will focus on hope, resilience, and the power of collective action. [Watch this event FREE and LIVE on KLRN Pasadena YouTube channel.]
Dr. Goodall, known for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees in Tanzania, has spent her life advocating for protecting all species and the environment. Nowadays, she inspires action through the work of the Jane Goodall Institute and Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots. FREE TO RSVP:
Hosted by the Pasadena Education Foundation, Pasadena Unified School District, and the Roots & Shoots LA Basecamp, this special event will take place at Pasadena High School, where Dr. Goodall will share personal stories from her remarkable life, reflecting on the resilience of people and wildlife alike and the importance of community in creating lasting change.
She will discuss how the lessons she’s learned from her decades of conservation work can inspire the next generation to take meaningful action for the planet, animals, and local communities.
(Jimmy Kimmel Live) April 13, 2023: Dr. Goodall talks about her love of animals, dreaming of growing up to study wildlife, her mother’s encouragement, women not being scientists when she started out, bonding with one chimp in particular named David Greybeard, chimp “language,” the mourning and grief around a chimp when they die, being open to the idea that Bigfoot [Yeti, Almas, Orang Pendek, and Sasquatch-like cryptids] might exist, and her new Apple TV+ series “Jane” about the adventures of a little girl and her imaginary chimp.
This event is designed for young people and families, providing insights into how we can all contribute to a more sustainable, compassionate world. Before the lecture, localRoots & Shootsgroups and community partners will display information about their projects and offer opportunities to connect and learn how everyone can get involved in efforts that benefit the environment, animals, and communities.

(National Park Diaries) Aug. 21, 2023: GOMBE NATIONAL PARK
The Gombe Chimpanzee War was an intergroup conflict between two chimpanzee communities in Gombe National Park, Tanzania, Africa.
Prior to this conflict being observed, it was thought that chimpanzees were largely peaceful creatures and vegetarians. But Jane Goodall and other researchers soon opened up a whole new world of chimpanzee conflict and social dynamics with their observations of this conflict.
It's a fascinating look at the brutality of the natural world and perhaps provides an opportunity to reflect on our human capacity for violence as well.
