Jane Meets Tarzan

Dr. Goodall meets actor Christophe Lambert, who played the lead role in the 1984 film Greystroke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes. The film is based on the Tarzan stories written by Edward Rice Burroughs. Dr. Goodall often jokes that she would make a better love interest than that other Jane whom Burroughs featured in his books. 

Dr. Goodall’s traveling companion, Mr. H, takes a minute to check out the public bicycle system in Paris. On many street corners in Paris, bikes are available to pedestrians enrolled in the Velib program. Over 20,000 bikes are distributed at nearly 1,800 locations in the city. Mr. H thinks this is a great idea!

A picture of complementing styles. Dr. Goodall, dressed in red, takes a moment to pose with the red gorilla sculpture during the “Species in Danger” exhibit she inaugurated at the Xavier Nicolas Art Gallery. Over 20 artists who created original works featuring endangered species were highlighted. The exhibit was organized in recognition of Dr. Goodall’s role as the Patron for the United Nations Year of the Gorilla campaign, a year long project to bring awareness to the plight of the species.
