About the Jane Goodall Institute
Chimpanzees, mankind’s closest animal relatives, are close to extinction due to hunting and habitat destruction. The Jane Goodall Institute works to protect chimpanzee habitat and maintains sanctuaries for orphaned and injured chimpanzees. The Institute also works with African communities to educate them about the importance of protecting wildlife habitat, and to help them improve their own lives through sustainable agriculture and alternative methods of generating income. A purchase of any of JGI Canada’s holiday gifts helps support this important work.

Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues Dr. Goodall’s pioneering research of chimpanzee behaviour — research that transformed scientific perceptions of the relationship between humans and animals. Today, the Institute is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It also is widely recognised for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa, and Roots & Shoots, a global environmental and humanitarian education program, which has groups in more than 96 countries.
