Jane Goodall's final lesson
from Talking Climate with Katharine Hayhoe · host Dr. Katharine Hayhoe
This month, we lost one of the world’s greatest advocates for people and nature. When I was a child, she was the first scientist I ever saw on screen — a young woman in Africa, working with chimpanzees. Decades later, I met her backstage at the Paris climate talks: still tireless, still hopeful, still reminding us that “only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential.”Even in her final days, Dr. Jane Goodall was urging us not to give up, and now her legacy lives on through the countless voices she inspired — scientists, faith leaders, and citizens alike — to act with courage, lead with kindness, and never lose hope.The best way to honour her? Do what Jane told us to do: believe that what you do makes a difference — and then do it.Find Jane's interview with Forbes at NYC Climate Week here.Thank you to Anne Cloud with Voice Over for the Planet for narrating this edition of Talking Climate.
