A Brief Look At Jane Goodall

Ever wondered what it would be like if people would follow their dreams from the start of their life? Jane Goodall followed her dreams. Jane Goodall fits the theme of leadership and legacy because of how she has helped animals and the environment. She helped the chimpanzees and people began to see them as creatures and not ‘things’, she fights to give them rights, and she led her followers to do the same. Goodall was influenced to work with animals and without it she wouldn’t be the same. People are affected by Goodall’s work and mentorship.
