“Quote of the Day” – Handwriting Practice

Jane Goodall (1934 – ) is the world’s leading expert on chimpanzees. A person who studies chimpanzees is called a primatologist. When she started studying in the 1950s it was a subject dominated by men. Now, thanks to Jane Goodall‘s courage and success around half of all primatologists are women. All her life she has campaigned for the animal welfare and the environment and has started several organisations to carry out this important work including Roots & Shoots which has over 4500 groups on over 70 countries. 

 

“I don’t care two hoots about civilization, I just want to wander in the wild.”
