"We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Jane Goodall, a United Nations Messenger of Peace," the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) said in a statement. "Her life's work dedicated to protecting nature, humanitarianism, and preserving the world around us left an indelible mark."
UNEP expressed condolences to her family, the Jane Goodall Institute and "all who draw hope and inspiration from her example."
The eminent primatologist, ecologist, and humanitarian Jane Goodall died on Wednesday, October 1. Her name has long been synonymous with scientific integrity, compassion, and the fight for conservation.
Goodall began her scientific career in 1960 in Tanzania, where she studied the behavior of wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park. Her discoveries—the use of tools, complex social relationships, and the emotional lives of primates—redefined scientific understanding and brought humans closer to the animal world.
In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which has become a global hub for conservation. The organization implements dozens of projects in Africa aimed at sustainable development, protecting biodiversity, and supporting local communities.
One of Goodall's most inspiring endeavors was the Roots program.
In 2002, Jane Goodall was appointed a UN Messenger of Peace. For over two decades, she helped the Organization raise awareness of environmental issues, speaking at international forums, schools, and universities, inspiring millions of people around the world.
"Every one of us matters. Every one of us can change the world. Every one of us can do something good," said Jane Goodall.
