Jane Goodall, indisputably one of the world's foremost authorities on chimpanzees and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute for wildlife research and conservation, was in Japan last month as a part of the institute's celebration of her 50th anniversary of pioneering chimpanzee research in Tanzania.
During her stay, the 76-year-old primatologist visited Yokohama International School and talked about the fieldwork she undertook in her younger days, chimpanzees and the institute's program for youth.
Goodall started her speech to an excited young audience assembled in the school's gymnasium by saying that although she strives constantly to reach people in many countries, she would love it if she could speak different languages.
