Jane Goodall: How One Woman Changed Conservation Forever
Description
Jane Goodall transformed the way we understand animals, conservation, and our place in nature. In this special tribute episode of How to Protect the Ocean, I reflect on Dr. Goodall's incredible legacy and what her life's work teaches us about empathy, science, and hope. From living with chimpanzees in Gombe to influencing ocean storytelling today, her impact spans generations and ecosystems. Jane showed us that animals are not resources, but individuals with emotions, intelligence, and culture. She taught us to listen, to observe, and to act.
Jane Goodall's work didn't end with primates. Her vision of conservation included youth, community, and global collaboration. She helped shape marine and terrestrial protection efforts, inspired countless scientists (especially women), and changed how we use emotional connection to inspire action. Even at 91, she was on a speaking tour, still using her voice to make the world better. This episode unpacks what she gave us and how we carry that legacy forward especially in ocean conservation.
