30 years prior, in 1986, Jane attended the very same meeting and credited the conference as the catalyst to her pivot to activism.

The American Society of Primatology and its members mourn the passing of the Dr. Jane Goodall. We thank her for her service.

These photos are from Dr. Jane Goodall’s visit to the Chimpanzees in Context conference held in Chicago in 2016, a meeting for primatologists to gather and discuss chimpanzees and promote their conservation.
