Toronto, CANADA: An Evening with Jane Goodall

7:30 p.m.

On April 2, 2011, Dr. Goodall will give a keynote speech at the Royal Ontario Museum. The event is hosted by the Jane Goodall Institute–Canada and the Schad Gallery of Biodiversity.

The year 2010 marked a monumental milestone for the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and our founder. Fifty years ago last July, Dr. Goodall, who is today a world-renowned primatologist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace, first set foot on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in what is now Tanzania’s Gombe National Park. The chimpanzee behavioral research she pioneered there has produced a wealth of scientific discovery, and her vision has expanded into a global mission to empower people to make a difference for all living things.

In her lecture, Dr. Goodall will reflect—both personally and professionally—on the meaning of the past five decades, the extraordinary changes the world has seen since 1960, and the impact these changes have had on people, animals and the environment we all share. In addition, she will discuss the role we must all play over the next 50 years to ensure a better future for generations to come.

Please note that ticketing for this event is handled by the venue and not JGI.
