Dr Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute will return to Australia in mid 2024. After a long absence brought on by the COVID pandemic, Goodall, 89, is delighted to be returning to Australia to meet with her supporters and share her reasons for hope in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland. “I love Australia with its rich biodiversity and proud Aboriginal heritage”, she said. “It will be tremendous to catch up with old friends and meet some of the young leaders making a difference through Roots & Shoots”. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots is a youth education program developed by Dr Jane Goodall in Tanzania in 1991 and today reaches millions of young people in more than 60 countries around the world. It is why she continues to travel around the world inspiring young people to act. “In all my lectures and books, I focus on reasons for hope. But today, it’s getting harder and harder to take that message of hope around the world. Todays’ young people—everywhere I go—they’re so excited and empowered. We’re listening to their voices. That gives us a reason to hope”. Tickets will go on sale in late 2023. Subscribe to updates at www.janegoodall.org.au For more information, contact JGIA on info@janegoodall.org.au
