Jane Goodall Institute

MISSION

The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) was founded by Dr. Jane Goodall with the inspirational message that the well-being of our world relies on people taking an active interest in all living things. We believe that every individual matters and makes an impact. We are a global nonprofit committed to community-centered conservation, whether it be protecting chimpanzees and great apes in Africa while improving the lives of communities around ape habitat, or supporting youth-led efforts around the world to improve their own communities.

WHERE YOUR SUPPORT GOES

JGI supports community-centered conservation throughout Africa’s Congo Basin, engaging with individual stakeholders to garner long-term conservation impact.

THE RESULTS

Jane Goodall Institute support young people in more than 130 countries across the globe as they work make positive change in their own communities. Our cutting-edge use of technology ties our high-impact conservation work in Africa to our citizen-science projects led by youth groups across the globe.
