In Africa, Jane met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous scientist. He needed help with an important new animal study. Dr. Leakey asked Jane to work on the chimpanzee study with him. So, Jane and her mother moved to the country of Tanzania (坦桑尼亚). They lived with chimpanzees in the Gombe (贡贝) Forest. At first, most of the chimps in Gombe were afraid of Jane. Only a chimp she had named David trusted her. He let Jane meet his family group. Jane wrote notes as she watched the chimps every day.
Jane’s discoveries surprised many scientists. She said chimps were smart enough to use sticks as tools to dig up bugs (虫子) to eat. She also said chimps showed feelings, as humans do. Jane’s work made some scientists think again about their old beliefs and ideas about chimps.
After many years in Gombe, Jane became very worried. People were cutting down trees in the Gombe Forest. Hunters were stealing baby chimps. Jane knew what she had to do. She talked about her work with many people all around the world. She asked them for help to save the chimps and the forest. She started the Jane Goodall Institute (研究所) and also created a program called Roots & Shoots to teach young people how to help the environment.
