Jane Goodall
" This photograph by Michael Nichols portrays Juju, who was caged alone for many years in Brazzaville Zoo and desperate for contact, reaching out to Dr. Jane Goodall".
Jane Goodall is perhaps one of the most well known conservationist, biologist, and animal behaviour researcher who not only pioneered in field research on animal behavior but also changed how we view animals especially great apes in the last 45 years. She started working in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania in early 1960s. Her mother accompanied her in field when she went for the first time. It took her several months to habituate the chimp groups in Gombe and eventually she was able to conduct observations on Flo's family. Some of the important data on mother-infant relationship, family hierarchy in males and femles have come from the matraich Flo and her children. Flo was the dominant female in the group and F amily line continued to be dominant even now by Flo's grandchildren. I admire her mother to take her to the forest of Gombe to watch the Chimpanzees. She is one of the three women that Dr. Louise Leakey send out to collect data on Chimpanzees, Gorillas and Oranutans. In Gombe, researchers are still studying the chimp families that Jane had started observing 45 years ago.
