The scientist behind a landmark study of chimpanzee behavior, Dr. Jane Goodall will be speaking tonight at the USF Sun Dome about her environmental conservation efforts and chimpanzee experiences. But before that, Dr. Goodall visited local children at the USF Botanical Gardens. Dr. Jane Goodall greeted the local elementary school aged children, in a language she knows all too well. Goodall is an expert on chimpanzees and is best known for her 45-year-study on wild chimpanzee social interactions in Tanzania.
She spoke to the audience about her love of animals since childhood and she left the children with a piece of knowledge.
"We are able to be even more compassionate than chimpanzees so we can help chimps and other animals, and we can help the forests, and we can help each other", Goodall said.
