Even though she was born in the heart of
london, england, as a child she was always fascinated by animals of all
sorts. Her favorite books were the
jungle book, by rudyard kipling, and books about tarzan, a fictional
character who was raised by apes.

Her dream from childhood was to go to africa. After high school, she
worked as a secretary and a waitress to earn enough money to go there.
During that time, she took evening courses in journalism and english
literature. One of her favorite poets was t. s. eliot. She saved every
penny. She put her wages under the carpet in her mother's living room until
she had enough money for passage to africa.

In the spring of 1957, she sailed through
the red sea and southward down the african coast to mombasa in kenya. Her
uncle had arranged a job for her in nairobi with a british company. When
she was there, she met louis leakey, a famous anthropologist. Under his
guidance she began her lifelong study of chimpanzees on the eastern shore
of lake tanganyika.

Jane goodall lived alone in a tent near the lake. Through months and
years of patience, she won the trust of the chimps and was able to observe
them at close hand. Her observations changed forever how we view
chimpanzees-and all other animals we share the world with as well.

As a young woman, jane couldn't afford to
go to a university. She never received an undergraduate degree, but later
in her life she received a Ph.D. from Cambridge university and became a
professor at stanford university. She has written several books. One of
them is my friends, the wild
chimpanzees. She works tirelessly on behalf of endangered species and
in support of the humane treatment of animals in captivity.
