Dr. Jane Goodall was an inspiration to so many of us when we were children. For some, she was the reason we ended up in the zoo field. Her inspiration continued with us into adulthood as our careers developed. If you were lucky enough to attend one of her events, you know how powerful her words were and how gracious she was as a person.
The conservation community now has a massive void and it is up to all of us to work together and attempt to fill that void.
Rest easy, Dr.

From grooming each other and taking care of each other’s young, to foraging and acting as lookouts, meerkats know what it means to work together. 🫶

Stop by the African Savannah Building to say hi to Kwanza and our mob!
