 In
1999 Dr. Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute were instrumental
in establishing the Bushmeat Crisis Task Force (BCTF)
in collaboration with 28 other non-governmental and government
agencies in 1999. JGI has been a supporting member of
the BCTF and has held a position on the BCTF’s Steering
Committee since the association’s onset.
Dr. Goodall acts as a spokesperson for the bushmeat
crisis and the BCTF at major informational events on
Capitol Hill as well as throughout the world on her
lecture tours. In March 2000, Christina Ellis became
JGI’s Steering Committee representative to the
BCTF.
To BCTF, JGI brings 43 years of wildlife research in
Tanzania, and nine years of conservation and sustainable
development program experience throughout Africa. Both
Christina Ellis and Dr. Goodall will continue to coordinate
conservation, education, and public awareness efforts
with BCTF.
