Jane Buddh left, but her science and her activity will live forever

Jane Goodol It was and is the history of science. He left us on October 1 at the age of 91. The world of science today screams about his death, recalling his great achievements as a primatologist, as well as a person.

And if there is anything, which is determined by Jane Gudoll, this is a fact Do not carry injustice. He had a great speaker, created by many years of experience and devotion, and he knew very well how to use it. With this elegance, which characterized it so much, he spent his whole life, fighting for the best planet. He put in the midst of chimpanzees to study them, despite the criticism that the great geniuses of the primatology of the moment were considered. He worked side by side with African communities for Raznaya Lesta who left their favorite chimpanzees and lungs without a habitat on the planet, which suffers a little more.

Thanks to Jane Goodol, we know that agony is better because he never stopped using his speaker to talk about it. He worked to the end to fight for the best world. And he did it literally to the end, because his life disappeared into full Canada and United States Tour conferencesThe next conference was to be held this Friday in California. Unfortunately, this can no longer be, because she is not so, although her science and her voice will remain between us forever.

It all started with stuffed

We cannot know if there would have been anything else without him, but the reality is such that Jane Gudal’s love began for chimpanzees with a scarecrow. He had only 1 year, when his father gave him one of these rag animals, which they baptized as AnniversaryThe field friends of his mother were horrified by the gift and thought that he would scare the girl; But in fact, she fell in love with him on her first glance. Such was his connection with the anniversary that he lived with her in her house in England until the end of her life.

Throughout the childhood and youth, Jane showed a great love for animals. It was an insatiable observer who loved to see and attract to the smallest insect around him. Despite this, he did not study any bound career. He worked as a waitress until 23 years old, when he managed to save enough to fulfill his dream of a trip to Africa. Initially, he went to Kenya where his friend lived. This did not take much time to find I work as a secretaryIn order to have a livelihood that would allow him to continue to live there, next to the animals, which he adored so much. Her friend, realizing her interest and ability, encouraged her to talk to Louis flowsThe paleoanthropologist, who at that time was on the crest of a wave of primates research.

Jane followed the advice of her friend and interviewed this scientist who soon felt the impression of her personality and interest. At first he hired her as a secretary, but gradually he formed her to do work with the chimpanzee. Once with sufficient concepts of primatology, Jane went to GombeIn Tanzania, in 1960. What happened later is the story.

Society was not prepared for everything that Jane Gudoll discovered

At that time there were many scientists interested in studying primates. In the end, his kinship with people was well known. However, like the wild animals that were, They were studied at a distanceWithout the slightest empathy. They were nothing more than to study objects.

Jane Goodol did not ascend in such a cold way to engage in science. In addition, his whole life founded his training, far from university, in observations. Therefore, the first thing he did was What is each of the chimpanzees With those who will work since then. Of course, there were many scientists, all the men who took their hands on their heads. Isn’t this a way to almost configure animals? Until then, they had only numbers, but Jane gave them something as valuable as the name.

And this was not the only thing that caused the refusal of other researchers. She never studied chimpanzees at a distance. Shared with them become almost anotherThis field allowed them to act naturally and allow it to see the secrets that were hidden for other scientists. For example, he discovered that they formed a hierarchy or that They were able to use tools. He also discovered his emotions and affection for his loved ones, as well as a rude side in which they could participate in wars and be cruel to those who considered their enemies. In short, Jane Gudal discovered the most friendly side, but also the most gloomy of the people materialized in the behavior of chimpanzees.

All this, in a sense, showed that people We are not the only primates endowed with intellectThe field is that, again, in horror from the most Puristists at the moment. It is widely known that only people were smart animals. Or it was verified. Jane, on the other hand, had a different way to see this: “Fortunately, I did not study at the university and did not know this.”

A story that has not ended

The primatologist had to fight the bullying and men of his classmates. Nevertheless, a little he won the recognition that he deserved. All this led her to advance in her investigation, and in 1977 founded Jane Goodoll InstituteToday, from this institute, measures are still advanced to fight for the preservation of chimpanzees and preservation of planet Earth. In addition, the work in Gambo is still ongoing, so their research is the oldest in which they were studied and Wild animals are studied in their habitat.

The consequences of the dynamics Jane Guddlal outside the chimpanzee

Throughout her life, Jane Gudal also showed Excellent environmental problem. I have repeatedly warned that we are approaching The sixth great extinction From the climate change, which, if we do not act on time, will be uncontrollable. Through his conferences, he remembered that we still have Temporary window To change the change in climate, but this is a little little, it closes.

To prevent him from completely closing, he completely trusted new generations. This led her to the beginning of the roots and shooting, Educational, global, environmental and humanitarian programs Aimed at “promoting respect and compassion for all living beings, promoting understanding between cultures and inspiring each person to actively work to make our world the best place for the environment, animals and people.”

Despite all this, it has always been Great defender of the role of distribution: “Only if we understand, you can matter. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we will be safe. ”

We no longer have it, but her teachings penetrated into thousands of people who will fight for their voice in order to never go out. And everything will be due to the fact that she always trusted the authorities of the youngest fight for injustice and fight the devastation caused by influential. Because, if there is something, that Jane Gudoll showed us over the past 90 years, this is that a girl with a plush monkey can change the world. Thank you, Jane.
