The world's top authority on chimpanzees outlined new research at Gombe Stream and current programs of the Jane Goodall Institute. As a United Nations Messenger of Peace, Goodall offered reasons for hope in these complex times and ways that every individual can make a difference.

In her lecture, she reflected on current work at Gombe Stream, where the 45-year research into man's closest relative is ongoing. She also discussed the exciting work of the Jane Goodall Institute and programs that have evolved to conserve the precious forest habitat and improve the lives of those living adjacent to the national park. In particular, she focusec on her youth program, "Roots & Shoots," which is now active from preschool through college in more than 90 countries worldwide.
