Despite dire warnings for our endangered planet, Jane Goodall says all is not yet lost – we can change course if we act now. And she should know. Her tough-minded optimism comes from her work as the world’s foremost authority on chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe National Park. As a scientist and naturalist, she has produced landmark studies of animal behavior that led to revolutionary insights into the evolution of human life. Now, traveling 300 days a year, she has become a global advocate for all life, challenging everyone to see ourselves as caretakers of the planet. Her new book, “Hope for the Animals and Their World,” features the heroic work of men and women working around the world to protect and preserve the Earth.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 6 Days to raise $36,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (6 days left).
