Legendary British conservationist Jane Goodall just turned 90 – and she’s not slowing down! 🎉 The trailblazing ethologist, famous for reshaping how we see chimpanzees (and ourselves!), marked her milestone birthday on April 3 while continuing her global crusade for environmental hope.
From Backyard Dreams to Jungle Realities
Born in 1934, Goodall’s fascination with animals began in her London childhood backyard. At 26, she traded city life for Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park 🐒, becoming the first to document wild chimpanzees crafting tools – a discovery that rocked the science world!
More Than Monkey Business
Goodall’s six-decade career redefined conservation as a blend of rigorous science and heartfelt activism. Her work birthed global youth programs and wildlife sanctuaries, proving you don’t need a PhD (at first!) to change the planet’s story 🌍.
#HopeThroughAction Goes Viral
Now traveling 300 days/year with her signature stuffed monkey, Dr. G reminds Gen Z: \"Every. Single. Person. Makes. A. Difference.\" From planting trees to choosing sustainable fashion, she’s turning eco-anxiety into action – one TikTokable moment at a time 📲.
