Beyond her scientific contributions, she inspired millions worldwide through her voice for primate conservation and education.

Dr Goodall was a pioneering primatologist who revolutionised our field.   Her groundbreaking work in Gombe, Tanzania, on the behaviour of chimpanzees, set a framework for animal behaviour science for years to come.

It is with profound sadness that the Primate Society of Great Britain (PSGB) acknowledges the passing of Dame Jane Goodall, who died on 1 October 2025 at the age of 91.
