On Friday the Upper Sixth Geographers had the opportunity to go to ACS to hear Dr. Jane Goodall speak. It was a wonderful opportunity for them to hear about her life and work as a primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist and UN Messenger of Peace. She is considered to be one of the world’s foremost experts on chimpanzees and is best known for her 55 year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park, Tanzania. She shared some of her experiences of living in the wild and spoke about the importance of conservation and environmental protection.
All the pupils were inspired by her and it was great for them to see how the biodiversity topic that they have been learning about in Geography lessons links to Dr. Jane Goodall’s real life experiences.
