Jane Goodall is a very important, if not the most, scientist and ethologist of our days. She was born on April 3, 1934 in London, England. She developed a fascination with animals from a very young age and her dream of working with animals in Africa began when she read books about the continent's wildlife. 

In 1960, Goodall embarked on a journey to Tanzania, where she began her research at the Gombe Stream National Park with the mission to observe and document the behaviour of wild chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Her research was revolutionary, she made several discoveries during her time at Gombe, including tool use among chimpanzees, their complex social structures, and their capacity for emotions and communication.

Jane is known for her empathetic and respecful approach to studying chimpanzees, and that's why I admire her and her work. She assigned names, rather than numbers to the apes, and that was very brave because of the traditional scientifics didn't allow that practices, also they tried to minimize her work because of her age and because she was a woman. 

I think she has been very important for the understanding of the importance of knowing how animals behave and the need to be respectful with animals. 🐒
