PORTLAND, Ore. – Dr. Jane Goodall, the world-renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian whose pioneering work transformed our understanding of chimpanzees, has died at the age of 91.
The Jane Goodall Institute announced Wednesday that Goodall passed away of natural causes in California. Her groundbreaking research in Tanzania, which began in the 1960s, revolutionized primate studies and inspired generations of conservationists worldwide.
A Final Visit to Oregon
Goodall’s ties to Oregon ran deep. Just last April, she made what would be her final visit to the state, speaking with students at Lincoln High School in Portland.
