Hope In Action. Prosperity For All.
Animals, People, Our Planet
Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.
Our Vision
A healthy planet where people make compassionate choices to live sustainably and in harmony with each other, other animals and the environment we all share.
OUR MISSION
To undertake work on global and local sustainability issues and to work towards creating an informed and compassionate critical mass of people who will help to create a better world for people, other animals and our shared environment.
Our Philosophy in Action
Whether undertaking projects for impacts on sustainable development issues, for improved social, economic, or environmental outcomes, or conservation research, or advocating for change, or educating and supporting individuals around the world to make a difference, we recognise the interconnectedness of all elements: animals, people and the environment. A.P.E. — We must attend to each element, in consideration of the others, for all to prosper. JGI does this.
JGI strongly believes that each one of us makes a difference, and thus works to inspire, empower and facilitate individuals to turn their hope for the future, of animals, people, and the environment, into action and positive impacts.

Protecting Biodiversity - Generations of Knowledge and Care
Over 55 years ago Dr. Jane Goodall arrived in Tanzania to help understand our closest living relative the chimpanzee. Today we continue with chimps at the heart of our mission–advancing Dr Goodall’s research and raising awareness for the plight of great apes.
Our work on the ground in Africa allows us to actively protect and rehabilitate victims of the illegal bushmeat and exotic pet trade. Working together with authorities, confiscated orphan chimpanzees–too young to be released into the wild are brought to our sanctuaries where they receive medical treatment, food, safe habitat and the opportunity to socialise with fellow primates.
The Jane Goodall Institute also continues the research that Dr. Jane began and develops technological innovations to support research and wild and captive wildlife care and conservation.
