Dr. Jane Goodall, recognized as a passionate animal advocate and esteemed chimpanzee researcher, has passed away from natural causes, her death confirmed by the Jane Goodall Institute in a statement released on Wednesday.

She was 91.

“Dr. Goodall’s contributions as an ethologist transformed the field of science, and she remained a relentless proponent for the preservation and revitalization of our natural environment,” the statement highlighting her passing noted.

Goodall was in California at the time of her death, on a speaking tour in the U.S., the statement said.

Goodall gained prominence through her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees. As noted by the Jane Goodall Institute, which she established in 1977, she ventured into the wilderness to understand the extraordinary lives of chimpanzees—and emerged determined to protect them.

The foundation’s website reveals that upon recognizing threats to chimpanzees due to habitat loss and illegal trade, Goodall pioneered an innovative method of species conservation. This strategy sought to enhance the well-being of people, animals, and the environment by recognizing their interdependence.

Goodall embarked on her first journey to Tanzania at the age of 26 to delve into the realm of wild chimpanzees. Her “nontraditional approach” to research, as commented by the foundation, involved immersing herself in the chimpanzees’ environment and lives to understand their intricate society as a close neighbor rather than a detached observer.
