Jane Goodall: A Life that Redefined Science and Stewardship

Jane Goodall died on October 1, 2025, in Los Angeles at the age of 91. The news closes a chapter that began in 1960, when a 26-year-old woman arrived in what was then Tanganyika with a notebook, a pair of binoculars, and a patience that would shake modern science.

A radical approach

Goodall’s fieldwork at Gombe Stream National Park did something few in science dared. She gave names to her subjects instead of numbers. She watched them not as specimens but as individuals. From her meticulous observations came a revelation: chimpanzees make and use tools, once thought a uniquely human trait. She documented their social hierarchies, their rivalries, their tenderness, and their grief. What she recorded challenged the strict borders that science had drawn between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom.

Beyond the research station

Her discoveries carried her far outside of Gombe. Goodall became one of the most recognized scientific figures of the twentieth century. In the decades that followed she published landmark studies, spoke on global stages, and testified to governments about conservation. She created the Jane Goodall Institute to protect great apes and their habitats, and later launched Roots & Shoots, a youth-led program that continues to mobilize young people in more than a hundred countries.

From science to advocacy

Goodall’s transition from researcher to advocate was not a retreat from science but an extension of it. She argued that data alone could not save forests, chimpanzees, or ecosystems. Policy, education, and public will were just as essential. She spent much of her later life on the road, speaking to audiences both small and vast, carrying the same core message: the future is shaped by choices made in the present, and every person carries responsibility.

Recognition and legacy

Her work earned her a DBE from Queen Elizabeth II, the title of United Nations Messenger of Peace, and countless awards from universities and scientific organizations around the world. Yet Goodall consistently returned attention not to herself but to the animals and ecosystems she believed were at risk.

What remains

Goodall leaves behind a body of scientific research that redefined primatology, a conservation movement strengthened by her voice, and a global network of young activists inspired by her example. She showed that patient observation could overturn dogma, that science could coexist with compassion, and that a life’s work could straddle both field notebooks and public platforms.

Her passing closes a remarkable personal story, but the institutions she founded, the scientists she inspired, and the millions of ordinary people who heard her message ensure that the work continues.

Mark Twain, also known as Samuel Clemens, was a famous American writer who truly loved cats. He was a "cat person" through and through. He once said, "I just can’t resist a cat, especially a purring one. They are the cleanest, cleverest, and smartest things I know – other than the girl you love, of course."

At one point, Twain had up to 19 cats! Each had a unique name, like Apollinaris, Beelzebub, Blatherskite, Buffalo Bill, Satan, Sin, Sour Mash, Tammany, Zoroaster, Soapy Sal, and Pestilence. Twain loved cats more than most people, and he didn’t understand why everyone else didn’t feel the same way. "When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, no introduction needed," he once said.

One of his cats, named Bambino, went missing once. Bambino was a black cat that originally belonged to Twain’s daughter, Clara. Twain was so eager to find him that he put an ad in the New York American, offering a $5 reward for Bambino’s return to his home on 5th Avenue in New York City. Twain described Bambino as "large and intensely black, with thick, soft fur and a little white patch on his chest." Even though many people showed up with cats that didn’t match, Bambino eventually found his way home.

From his early years in Hannibal, Missouri, to his last days in Connecticut, Twain was always surrounded by cats, and they even appeared in some of his books, like The Innocents Abroad, Roughing It, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, and Pudd’nhead Wilson
