She has spent a large part of her life in Africa studying chimpanzees and has discovered a great deal of interesting information about them. She started her talk by greeting us in chimp language and asking us to repeat it back. She had a lot of stories to tell about particular chimps that she has worked with. She has set up a scheme called Roots & Shoots which provides young people with the knowledge, tools and hopeful inspiration to improve the environment and the quality of life for people and animals.
We all listened really well and agreed that we would like to become involved in some way later on in this session.

The Jane Goodall talk sounded really interesting. Makes me want to run off to the jungle and work with chimps!
