Jane Goodall, 87, is a world-famous primatologist, environmentalist and animal-rights activist. She is also the
subject of the new documentary, Jane. It is about her early days in Tanzania.
Jane used to get up at 5:30 a.m. when she studied the chimpanzee, to follow them all day. Now, she sometimes
gets up very early only if she has to catch a plane or prepare for a lecture. She always starts working at about 6:30
a.m. by checking emails. For breakfast, she usually has a toast and a cup of coffee.
Jane grew up in a house in Bournemouth, England and her sister still lives there. So, Jane stays there with her
sister between tours. She spends the evening with her sister and her family, and she takes the dog for a walk. She
has no time for hobbies as she is always away from home.
Jane rarely feels stressed. She advises people to stay calm so that they can deal with problems more easily.
She never uses a cell phone because she doesn’t want people catch her all day. Instead, she prefers answering
people’s questions via emails, sometimes even on the plane. She believes that when she gives lectures, people
listen, and it changes attitudes. “If we don’t stop using plastic, go onto green energy and stop mining in the
Amazon and on the Antarctic, there will not be much left for the future. We’ve got to have a change in attitude
rather fast. That’s why I travel.”, says Jane Goodall.
