In recognition of Climate Week, Forbes is revisiting some of Dr. Jane Goodall’s most enduring lessons on conservation, action and our responsibility to the planet.
Across her work, Dr. Goodall emphasized that individual choices matter, hope requires action and meaningful change starts with giving people a reason to care.
Today, @janegoodallinst continues that work through efforts to protect wildlife, restore ecosystems and empower communities around the world.
Learn how the Jane Goodall Institute is continuing Dr. Goodall’s conservation legacy at janegoodall.org.

Meet the newest face at JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary: Bili the gorilla! 🦍
Like so many of our residents at Tchimpounga, Bili's life in the wild was disrupted by the illegal wildlife trade. She was first rescued in Nigeria and brought to Pandrillus for care at Drill Ranch — an internationally-accredited primate sanctuary specializing in drill monkeys. 🐒🌿
But western lowland gorillas like Bili are social animals, and they are not native to Nigeria. The Pandrillus team knew that JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary is also home to a young gorilla named Mozambique (ZZ for short), rescued in 2024. The opportunity was too great to miss, so several teams joined forces to organize a transfer from Drill Ranch to Tchimpounga. 🇳🇬✈️🇨🇬
Bili’s arrival at Tchimpounga marks a new chapter, where she will receive care from our team of experts in a near-natural environment that meets her physical, mental, and emotional needs. The long-term aim is to eventually integrate Bili into the long-running gorilla reintroduction program in the Lesio-Louna Gorilla Reserve, implemented by the Ministry of Forest Economy in Congo and The Aspinall Foundation. 🌳✨
Thank you to the Nigerian government, the government of the Republic of the Congo, @focused.conservation, @theaspinallfoundation, @pandrillus, @unitedforwildlife, and @dhl_global for making this story possible. 💚

By training Village Forest Monitors, we're keeping conservation decisions in the hands of local people! 🤝✨
🌍🌳 Village Forest Monitors (VFMs) are community volunteers selected by their village government to help manage forests and other village land resources. JGI equips and trains VFMs to use smartphones and mobile field data collection apps to report their observations on chimpanzees, other wildlife, and illegal human activities.
📊🤳 VFM data feeds directly into a Decision Support System and is automatically visualized through dashboards and web-maps to inform local conservation and land management decisions. Once we know what and where the problems are — like unsustainable agriculture practices and illegal logging — we can better address them through collaborative solutions.
🌱🔊 Through continued support and the expanding use of cutting-edge technologies like bioacoustics sensors and camera traps, we are making sure this program evolves to meet dynamic local decision-making needs.

A little update on Bili the gorilla, the newest rescue at JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary 🦍
Since her successful transfer from Nigeria, Bili has been settling in well! After a brief quarantine, she was introduced to a near-natural forest habitat where she can explore, forage, and develop her natural behaviors.
In the coming weeks, her caregivers plan to introduce her to Mozambique, another rescued female gorilla who has lived at Tchimpounga for some time. In the long run, we hope that Bili can be rehabilitated and released through the Lesio-Louna Gorilla Reserve, implemented by the Ministry of Forest Economy in Congo and The Aspinall Foundation.
Four-year-old Bili was rescued from wildlife traffickers in Nigeria and rehabilitated for several years at Drill Ranch, an internationally-accredited primate sanctuary. She was recently transported to Tchimpounga, where JGI provides care for Mozambique the gorilla as well as more than 150 chimpanzees and other African wildlife injured or orphaned by the illegal wildlife trade. At Tchimpounga, Bili will have the opportunity to socialize with another gorilla — which is critical for great ape development — and enjoy her natural habitat, as western lowland gorillas like Bili are native to the Republic of the Congo. We are so happy to provide a space where Bili can thrive 💚

👑🐵 The power has shifted for the chimpanzees of Gombe: Fifti has become alpha male!
🌳✨ At JGI's Gombe Stream Research Center, we continue Dr. Jane Goodall's landmark research through what is now the longest-running wild chimpanzee study in the world. For the past 10 years, chimpanzee Fudge has led the Kasakelan community, serving as its alpha male. But one day, a small group of adult males — including Fifti, Ipo, and Fundi — started displaying towards Fudge, pulling at vines and calling loudly. This is often how males challenge one another.
Ipo quickly calmed down, but Fifti was persistent in his displays. Over the next month, Gombe field researchers noticed a new pattern: every time Fifti displayed, Fudge would scream and look to Ipo for help. Since Fudge is no longer defending his position, and based on the behavior of the other chimpanzees, researchers now believe that Fifti is the new alpha male of the group.
📝 We asked Gombe Principal Investigator and Associate Professor of Anthropology at George Washington University Dr. Carson Murray what impact she thought this might have on the troop: "They have the same mom, so it probably wouldn't be surprising — either genetically or how they were raised — that they may have very similar temperaments in terms of how they interact with other males."
Whatever happens next, we know that the strong ties that have kept this community together will continue to shape its future. Good luck in your new leadership role, Fifti! 🫡

Dr. Jane Goodall often reminded us that hope is not passive — it’s about action. 💚
She called on all of us to stand up, to make a difference, and to fight for our planet and for the future generations that will call it home.
At the Jane Goodall Institute, we are answering that call. Together, with our community around the world, we continue Jane’s mission: to make a positive difference for people, other animals, and our shared planet 🌍✨
The movement that Jane started continues — and everyone of us can make a difference.

🐵 Meet Savie, an expert chimpanzee caregiver who works on Tchindzoulou Island, a forested island at JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary! 🌿
Savie's primary job is to prepare food for rescued chimpanzees and serve it to them from the riverbank, ensuring each individual gets the nutrition they need! He also maintains the dormitories where the chimpanzees spend each night.
You can also find him in the island's forest, taking notes on daily interactions, fun behaviors, and unique social dynamics among the chimpanzees.
Savie’s patience, love, and careful observations help ensure every resident on Tchindzoulou Island thrives. Thank you, Savie, for everything you do! 💚

🎃 Things that go bump in the Gombe night... 🕷️
Gombe National Park is home to far more than just chimpanzees. Creepy crawlies, slithery sliders, and eight-legged weirdos all call this famed research site home. Don’t worry, they’re more helpful than haunting. Every critter plays a role in keeping this forest thriving. 🌿
Happy Halloween from all of us at the Jane Goodall Institute! 👻

"I'd like to tell you why I felt I had to leave the forest that I love — because chimpanzees are decreasing in numbers right across Africa — how I got to understand about extinction, about the destruction of the environment, about all the harm that we humans have inflicted on Mother Earth," said Dr. Jane Goodall in her MasterClass. "And most importantly, I'd like to share with you what we can all do together to right the wrongs, to heal some of the harm, and especially, what you can do to make this a better world."
Jane's wisdom lives on in so many places, from her many books and documentaries, to the people she has mentored, to the lessons she left in conversations and interviews. If you find yourself missing Jane, her MasterClass is a wonderful opportunity to revisit her insights into animal intelligence, conservation, and activism. Link in bio to learn more 🔗🐵

Meet Idda Joel, a hardworking farmer and mother of three who is now farming sustainably thanks to help from @janegoodallinstitute_tanzania 🇹🇿🤝
🪵 Year after year, the soil on Idda's small farm produced smaller harvests. She turned to the fertile soils of nearby riverine forests, clearing new plots of land in hopes of producing enough food for her family. “I barely got any surplus from my farm for a long time,” she recalled.
🌾🌽 Everything changed when Idda learned how to make and use compost with simple, locally available materials. In a single season, she and her husband harvested 20 kilograms of Bambara nuts, 170 tins of husked rice, and six tins of maize — a drastic increase from previous years. “Compost performs miracles,” she said, “hunger is no more.” With enough to eat and a surplus to sell, they were able to build a three-bedroom home, buy new furniture, and invest in a small piggery,
✨💚 Idda's story shows how, with practical and sustainable tools, farmers can transform their livelihoods without harming the forests that sustain both people and wildlife.
