Jane Visits Georgetown University
Jane was welcomed to Georgetown University in Washington, DC on September 9th to give a special lecture about her life, the new book, and to encourage Roots & Shoots partnerships in colleges around the country. The campus was abuzz for weeks prior to Jane’s appearance and the whole university went to great efforts to provide Jane a warm welcome. Every last seat in the auditorium was filled with students and supporters. You can read more about Jane’s visit in the school newspaper.

Behind the Scenes at 'Good Morning America'
While Jane was in New York City she had the opportunity to stop by the Good Morning America show to discuss her book, Hope for Animals and Their World. As you can imagine this meant a pretty early morning for Jane! The show went on live around 8 a.m., and was broadcast to millions of homes around the country. Jane spoke about her hope for animals around the world, including China’s giant panda, which is featured in the book.
New York City - Day One
Last week, Dr. Goodall traveled to New York City to launch the publication of her newest book, Hope for Animals and Their World: How Endangered Species are Being Rescued from the Brink. The book features conservation success stories from around the world and introduces readers to the scientists and everyday people working hard to save animal species from extinction. Hope for Animals and Their World has already been named by Amazon.com as one of the must read titles for 2009.
Jane Meets Tarzan
Last month, Dr. Goodall traveled to Paris as part of a 3-day visit to the City of Light. While there she promoted the work of the Jane Goodall Institute-France and attended a number of events to highlight the work JGI is doing in Africa. She also had meetings with government officials to discuss ways in which France is making positive environmental choices. The American University of Paris Roots & Shoots group shared some of their amazing projects. Dr. Goodall even met her childhood hero, Tarzan! Take a look at the trip in pictures.
