The PrimateCast

“It was a kind of BOOM moment”: A conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall, primatologist turned activist

Jane Goodall Episode 8

We interview Dr. Jane Goodall, world renowned naturalist, conservationist, activist, humanist and much, much more.

In the interview, we hear a funny story about her run-ins with Japanese primatologists in Africa, but the bulk of the interview is about her journey with chimpanzees and turning into an activist, with words of wisdom and encouragement for budding conservationists and naturalists.

Tune in and learn about Dr. Goodall's visit to Japan, her historical ties to Japanese primatology, and her projects with the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots.
