Event Details

Named the "woman who redefined mankind" by National Geographic, Dr. Jane Goodall's pioneering study of the lives of chimpanzees in Tanzania nearly 60 years ago has changed the entire world's understanding of our environment. Her tireless efforts to make the world a better place for all living things has lead her on a legendary journey in becoming the foremost expert on chimpanzees, a Dame of the British Empire, and a UN Messenger of Peace.


But in addition to "redefining mankind," it is also important to recognize how Dr. Jane Goodall helped redefined women and the role that women play in the field of conservation and environmental protection.


Join us on Nov. 12 for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall and the Executive Director of Roots & Shoots and JGI as they reexamine the challenges that Dr. Goodall faced in her early career as a pioneering woman in a male-dominated industry nearly 60 years ago. They will also discuss the roles that men can play to better support women and how female empowerment can be the key to healthier communities and a more sustainable environment.

珍·古道尔被《国家地理》称为"重新定义人类的女性"。大约60年前,古道尔博士来到坦桑尼亚研究黑猩猩的生活习性,这一壮举开创了历史先河,改变了整个世界对人类生活环境的认知。她为改善地球环境付出的不懈努力,不仅让她成为了研究黑猩猩的权威专家,还获得了"皇家女爵士"及"联合国和平使者"的荣誉称号。


但是,除了"重新定义人类"之外,珍·古道尔博士同样重新定义了女性,以及女性在环保领域所扮演的角色。


欢迎大家在11月12日参加我们的活动,在这里,你将与古道尔博士、芽与根和珍•古道尔研究会的常务董事直接对话。跟随古道尔博士的脚步,回顾她在60年前初入职场时,作为男性行业中的女性先驱曾面临哪些挑战,一同讨论男性该如何更好地支持女性事业,以及女性对缔造健康家园和创造可持续环境的关键作用。

Today, the Institute operates with 30 global offices supporting the research at Gombe in addition to innovative community-centered conservation projects, chimpanzee sanctuaries in Africa, and the Institute’s international youth program, Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, founded more than 25 years ago is now active in nearly 100 countries.
