Global Figures Pay Tribute After Jane Goodall’s Death
(MENAFN) Distinguished global figures, colleagues, and admirers came together on Thursday to grieve the passing of acclaimed primatologist Jane Goodall, following an announcement by her institute that she had died at 91.
Goodall devoted her lifetime to the study of chimpanzees and other large apes, becoming a prominent advocate for primate welfare and international environmental preservation.
She questioned numerous long-standing beliefs—such as the idea that primates were exclusively herbivorous and that the use of tools was a behavior unique to humans.
Her institute confirmed that she died peacefully in her sleep of natural causes while on a lecture circuit in Los Angeles, leading to widespread acknowledgments and expressions of sorrow from across the globe.
“Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science,” stated former U.S. President Barack Obama on X, the social platform operated by U.S. tech company X.
Referring to his wife, Obama continued: “Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved and admired her.”
