Jane Goodall is a world-famous primatologist, best-known for her work with chimpanzees—a dedication that has lasted more than 55 years. She is the UN messenger of peace and the founder of Jane Goodall Institute conservation charity and of Roots & Shoots, a global environmental and humanitarian education program for young people.
Today, Goodall describes her job as “giving people hope.” This is her beautiful message to all of us.

Unlike many other publications, we keep our content free for readers regardless of where they live or whether they can afford to pay. We have no paywalls and no ads.
In the post-truth era of fake news, echo chambers and filter bubbles, we publish a plurality of perspectives from around the world. Anyone can publish with us, but everyone goes through a rigorous editorial process. So, you get fact-checked, well-reasoned content instead of noise.
We publish 2,500+ voices from 90+ countries. We also conduct education and training programs
on subjects ranging from digital media and journalism to writing and critical thinking. This
doesn’t come cheap. Servers, editors, trainers and web developers cost
money.
