MAN (off-screen): Ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a special treat tonight.

Dr Jane Goodall.

MAN: I'm a huge fan, but I'm sure you hear that all the time.

GOODALL: It's better than hearing, "I hate you," isn't it?

WRANGHAM: People think of her as being associated with chimpanzees only.

But actually, she's much more than that.

It's about the future of the earth.

NICHOLS: All these young people looking at her like she was a deity.

GOODALL: There's so much love showered onto me.

There was a certain point when I thought,

"Well, this is going to help me do what I do."

MERLIN: Growing up, I didn't know the extent of how much my grandmother

has impacted the world.

LEWIS (off-screen): To change the lives of so many people,

over the years the picture has become bigger and bigger.

MACALISTER (off-screen): She goes for the kind of change the world is hungry for.

NICHOLS (off-screen): What's Jane Goodall doing working with an oil company?

Well that's what you do if you want to make change, you work with the bad guys.

GOODALL: My job is to go around and inspire people and get them to take action.

COLLINS: We say, "Slow down," she says,

"No, no, time's running out, time to speed up."

GOODALL: I have to run, I have to run.

COLLINS: I think the cost is very high, but she's driven by her mission.

GOODALL: If you want somebody to change their mind, it's no good arguing,

you've got to reach the heart.

GARROD: Most scientists don't talk about hope, Jane gives that human side.

KHALFAN: She started something and we do not want it to stop.

GOODALL: When I'm gone, there are hundreds and hundreds of young people around the world,

and already they're taking over.

Feeling that I have a message to give, that I was put on this planet to do it.

I have to do it.

I feel like I've been chosen as a messenger.

Cheers to the messengers!

Thank you.

JANE (off-screen): I grew up as a very shy child and

if anybody had told me then that the career

that I wanted to do would lead me to have become a kind of strange icon,

which I never planned, or meant, or strived for,

I think I might not have gone along that path.

There it is. First book I ever owned.

Cost six shillings.

And...Valerie Jane. Christmas 1942.

There. That's the picture. The monkeys making a bridge.

And Doctor, Doctor Dolittle walking across.

But for you, I might never have gone to Africa.

MAN (over film): July 1960, Jane Goodall, a 26-year-old English girl,

has embarked on a remarkable adventure.

At the request of the British anthropologist Dr L.S.B. Leakey,

she is to observe the daily lives of chimpanzees in East Africa.

GOODALL (over film): People often wonder if I miss the conveniences of home.

I can honestly say that I am completely happy here at the reserve.

This was the life I had always wished for and

I have certainly never regretted choosing it.

JANE (off-screen): People know I went out and studied chimpanzees when nobody was doing that.

And there's this picture in their minds of these hairy apes and

a young blond English woman out in the jungle, that's captivating.

MAN (over film): Now Jane will be the first scientist able to conclusively prove that

untrained chimps not only use but make tools.

After Jane's discovery, Dr. Leakey will say, "We must either redefine man,

redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as men."

GOODALL: Hello. Oh yes, here we are.

I have to run.

MAN (off-screen): During the last six decades, her groundbreaking work has evolved

into a personal quest to empower others to make the world a better place

for all living things.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a special treat tonight; Dr. Jane Goodall.

(applause).

GOODALL: Well, wow.

Thank you for that wonderful welcome.

A special greeting for you, since you gave me a special, special greeting.

(chimpanzee noises).

(cheers).

And that just means this is me, this is Jane.

Chimpanzees, you know, they're our closest relatives.

We're all apes, and the first thing that began to

penetrate and impress me

was how like us chimpanzees actually are.

They communicate, embracing, kissing, holding hands, petting one another.

Being out in the forest, I had this great sense of a spiritual awareness of some

spiritual power, and it was so strong out in the forest.

You cannot help but understand how everything's interconnected.

I often used to think sitting out there on my own that, you know,

maybe there's a spark of that great spiritual power in each one of us.

And if it's so, then maybe it's in every animal too,

maybe it's what gives us life.

Because we must label everything, we call it a soul.

So, if we have a soul, then so do the chimpanzees.

I could spend hours out in the forest, being with the chimpanzees.

These were the best days of my life.

So why did I leave?

I could still be there.

1986, I helped put together a conference to bring together

scientists who by then were

studying chimpanzees in 6 other parts of Africa.

We had a session on conservation, and it was shocking!

Forests were being destroyed.

The human population in Africa was moving further and further into chimpanzee habitat,

and there was still the live animal trade,

shooting mothers to steal their babies.

WRANGHAM (off-screen): The chimpanzee population had been falling from something like

two million in the wild at the beginning of the 20th Century,

to something more like a tenth of that figure by the time you reach the 1980s.

What ultimately concerns all of us I guess is stopping chimpanzees being taken from

the wild, but in general, what I'd like to do is just let, have free flow discussion.

Jane.

By 1986, Jane was a very important ally for chimpanzees,

because she was really quite well known.

GOODALL: Jane Goodall. Um...

(laughing).

WRANGHAM: But as I remember it, Jane was not personally directing her energies towards

thinking about chimps outside Gombe.

It was sometimes even a matter of frustration, hoping that Jane might make some public

statements about what we saw to be a tricky problem.

GOODALL: I think the animal rights issue is something I've been dodging for quite a long

time, just because it is a hot tricky issue, because I'm not the sort of person who likes

taking the limelight.

I really like sitting in the forest at Gombe and getting on and observing the chimps,

but it's become apparent

that I have to use this power if you like,

of bending the ear of very many people to help the creatures who have

put me in a position to do just that.

I went to that conference as a scientist, planning to carry on with that wonderful life,

and I left as an activist.

We need the sound of the animals in this earth summit, not just people.

WOMAN: Are there any environmental threats in that area of Tanzania like

habitat destruction that we should be concerned about?

GOODALL: Unfortunately, in Tanzania, like all across the chimps' range in Africa,

the habitat is disappearing.

GIBSON (off-screen): Did you like it better when you were unknown?

GOODALL: I would give anything to be able to go back to the days when I actually could be

out at Gombe and be with the chimps, and just immerse myself in that wonderful

world, but once you realize that you can try to make a difference,

then, well it would just be totally selfish, I couldn't do that anymore,

so if I went back now, I would be unhappy.

GIBSON (off-screen): So, you go public in effect for them?

GOODALL: For the chimps.

If I stopped doing that, I would feel a real traitor,

because they've done so much for me.

COLLINS (off-screen): The Jane Goodall institute is named after Jane Goodall.

Initially, it was conserving chimps and then very quickly

say we must conserve the habitat.

But it broadened out to human welfare over the whole planet.

GOODALL: Climate Change, it's happening.

If we lose hope, then we may as well all give up, if we think there's no way forward,

and that we're doomed as many scientists tell us, then eat, drink, and be merry,

for tomorrow, we're going to die.

(laughter).

But we mustn't let it happen.

You know, my job is to go around and inspire people and get them to take action.

The message is we are part of the natural world.

There's billions and billions of little unknown creatures down in the soil,

and that's what industrial farming is destroying.

And as we destroy the natural world, we're destroying our own future, not only wildlife.

And once you take action, once you're doing something, once you feel,

"Well it's my little bit but I'm going to do my little bit and I'll die easier if I have

done my little bit," even if it's no use, I'm going to die trying.

Every single day each one of us lives on this planet, we make some kind of impact,

even if we make small choices.

Choosing to walk instead of riding by car, where do we buy?

Where did it come from?

Did it harm the environment?

When billions of people make the right ethical choices,

we start moving to a different sort of world.

INTERVIEWER (off-screen): What's Jane's existence like?

NICHOLS: It's tough.

GOODALL (off-screen): Do I enjoy the life I'm leading?

Actually, the answer is really no, because I'm travelling 300 days a year,

or more, every year, since 1986,

but it's the only way I can get to speak to groups of people like you.

GIRL: Do you still work with chimpanzees?

GOODALL: My students do, but I'm always travelling.

Trying to save the world, that's a bit of a tough job.

NICHOLS: Jane is 24/7.

When you become Mother Teresa for the environment, it's what you get.

GOODALL: I always use my coffee grounds twice, just to add a little to it.

Making of the toast. It works really well.

(laughs).

You see, now this.

It's a sample of urine, but it's a clean one.

It's very tight and secure.

I can put little sugar packets into here, cause there's usually too much sugar in one

of those little packets, and then, then you waste it.

Actually, it's okay.

COLLINS: We say, "Jane, how do you keep it up?" and she said,

"Well, because I'm doing what I believe in and time is running out,"

we say, "Slow down, you're getting on," she says,

"No, no, time is running out, I must speed up."

And I think the cost, cost is very high.

And how she keeps it up, well, we can only say

she's driven by her commitment to her mission.

That is what keeps her alive, I think.

And especially with young people, she gets huge feedback.

I think she's pulled on by the response she gets.

(singing, drumming).

GOODALL (off-screen): I had the idea of Roots and Shoots because I found so many young people

who had lost hope and said there was nothing they could do

about the future of the planet.

So, I try and inspire as many children of all ages as I can to take action.

So, I am going to speak to you in English.

When I was ten years old, I had a dream.

I will go to Africa, I will live with wild animals, and I will write books about them.

Everybody laughed at me.

“You're just a girl. Girls don't do that sort of thing.”

But my mother, she said, “If you really want to do this,

you're going to have to work awfully hard, but don't give up.”

KHALFAN (off-screen): People here in Zanzibar traditionally,

women don't really work, they just stay at home, be mothers, be wives.

I was not that kind of girl who loves to mix up with people,

but being in Roots and Shoots, meeting new people, cleaning up,

planting trees and helping animals, it just changed me.

It made me be someone new.

GHARIB: I want to be a president of Zanzibar.

I had that dream since before.

When my grandma was saying that, "You cannot be a president of Zanzibar because

there's no woman who can be a president of Zanzibar," and I say,

"I will be."

(screaming).

GOODALL: Traditionally in many countries,

women were considered good for not much else except having large family,

looking after the husband while he did the work.

So empowering young women to get a good degree,

to take their place increasingly in a society

that's typically being male dominated is really important.

Together, we can do all, and so, Roots & Shoots, every person matters,

and every animal does too.

But every person makes some impact on the planet every single day,

and we get to choose what sort of difference we make.

Thank you.

GHARIB: It's helped others, because what I'm getting now, also I'm sharing to people.

My mother would say that when you get a help, also help three other people,

then the world will change.

(cheering).

KHALFAN: There's so many people that are inspired by her.

She started something, we are continuing it, and we do not want it to stop.

♪ We are the Roots and Shoots of the living world ♪

♪ Roots and Shoots everywhere ♪

GOODALL: I decided I had to travel around some of the African countries to learn

about what was happening to the chimpanzees, seeing things with my own eyes.

Chimpanzees right across Africa are disappearing very fast.

Mothers are shot so that babies can be taken and sold.

They're sold very often as pets.

They're also smuggled out for the international

entertainment and biomedical research trade.

A lot of what I managed to do was thanks to James Baker.

Strangely I had lunch with him.

There he was, secretary of state.

He was a hunter and he knew I didn't like him hunting, so why would he help me?

BAKER: I remember during that lunch telling her that I loved nature

because I was a hunter and a fisherman.

But I'm interested in clean water and in clean air and in preserving the resource and

preserving the environment.

GOODALL: He seemed to think that what I was doing was something that was worthwhile,

because he telexed, do you remember telexing in those days?

He telexed all the embassies of the countries I was going to,

and he said, "Please help Jane."

WOMAN (off-screen): Welcome to Kinshasa, Jane.

GOODALL (off-screen): So, they did.

And it really, really, I mean I was able to stay in the embassies,

they met me at airports.

BAKER (off-screen): She's smart enough to know once you become an activist,

you'd better know politics and you'd better be pragmatic enough to get things done.

(drumming).

GOODALL (off-screen): One of the countries I went to was the Republic of Congo,

because somebody told me I should see the

terrible conditions in the Brazzaville Zoo.

It was so, so awful.

The zoo was buying animals from these hunters for a few shillings and then they just

exhibited them till they died, and so the animals were dying of starvation.

NICHOLS (off-screen): When I met Jane, her work was advocacy.

Doing everything she could to change the situation with chimpanzees,

that's exactly when I met her.

I went to photograph her, she was the subject, and we would go to the Brazzaville Zoo

which was a really terrible zoo.

GOODALL: I found a chimpanzee named Gregoire, who was put in his cage in 1944,

and when I met Gregoire, he was a complete skeleton, and he had virtually no hair.

I could hardly believe he was a chimpanzee, and I think the picture of Gregoire as he was

then has haunted me more than any other captive chimp I've ever seen.

I knew I had to do something for Gregoire.

I had to get a sanctuary built somehow.

Conoco, the oil and gas company working in Congo Brazzaville,

they were prepared to help to build a sanctuary for all these orphaned chimpanzees.

So, I thought the whole thing through, because I knew there would be criticism.

GOODALL: People have said to me,

“What are you getting involved in an oil company for?

That money stinks.

That will contaminate your image.”

So I thought about this quite a long time,

and I said,

What do you run your cars on?

Air?

GOODALL: My feeling ever since has been if an extractive company,

if they're really trying to find ways to do it better, then by working with them you

are helping them to do it better.

Max Pitcher was the then vice president and Conoco agreed to building the sanctuary.

And the JGI would go on feeding the chimps and paying the caregivers.

MACALISTER: That was the most unusual set of marching orders

I think an oil country manager's ever had.

"Try to find oil if you can, but whatever you do, don't disappoint Jane Goodall."

GOODALL: Rod! MACALISTER: Jane!

Wow! How great is this?

GOODALL: I'm trying to work out how many years...

MACALISTER: Jane said, "If you guys can figure out a way to create an enclosure for the

chimps in the Brazzaville Zoo, they could live out their lives in as natural a way as

possible, and still be fed and medicated and everything by human care."

So we said, "Sounds simple, let's do it."

A lot of times, you don't follow a straight path to your objective.

This is actually the third site that we've had under consideration for the project,

and of course, this is where we'll wind up.

And it was just sort of like, "Rodney, figure it out."

Steve Matthews was a zoological contractor specialist in the UK,

building the chimps' housing.

The facility had to be disassembled, freighted to the Congo,

taken out over that miserable excuse for what's left of a road

and assembled in a location as remote and hostile as this one.

It was my job, and I believed in it, and I wanted to see it happen.

If Jane asks you to do something, you're not going to beg off and say, "No,"

I mean, reject her?

Heck no.

GOODALL: Poor things.

They have no idea what's happening.

MACALISTER: No.

Shipping crates had been made for the different sizes of chimps.

And then trucked from the Brazzaville Zoo on flatbed trucks.

We had chartered an aircraft that could handle all these crates and all these chimps.

And then the moment of high drama, they had to be released into the chimp facility.

And nobody knew if there had been any fatalities, any injuries, any upsets at all.

MAN (off-screen): One, two, three, four, five.

Christopher lagging behind.

MACALISTER (off-screen): And to our amazement, everyone was fine and it had gone smoothly.

Somebody told us we could have gotten into the Guinness Book of World Records

for the largest ever airlift of chimpanzees.

MAN (off-screen): 100% success.

GOODALL: See, there he goes.

NICHOLS: It became an official sanctuary, Tchimpounga.

And you have to take care of them for the rest of their lives.

GOODALL (off-screen): Gregoire was one of the chimpanzees airlifted to Tchimpounga.

Seeing him in an open space was very, very heartwarming.

You silly old man!

MACALISTER: This is an animal so like us.

They love, they bond, they have community just like we do.

You have to kid yourself to think that they are really all that different.

GOODALL: Oh yes! You're so silly.

MACALISTER: That she would make friends with an oil company at a time when the

fashion was completely the opposite direction.

So she's not afraid to be a contrarian.

GOODALL: Two people is more.

WRANGHAM (off-screen): She thought that it's much better to make some advances by way of

getting a sanctuary than to be purist and allow the chimpanzees to suffer.

NICHOLS (off-screen): Jane reaches out to,

let's just say you would think they're the bad guys.

What's Jane Goodall doing working with an oil company?

Well that's what you do if you want to make change, you don't work with the choir,

you work with the bad guys and they become the good guys.

GOODALL: I'm hoping that yours and all those people that you've mentioned will be

out of jobs in the oil industry...

(laughing).

and having wonderful futures in the clean green energy sector.

It's so strange to me looking back on the people, the most unlikely people

who have helped me on my way.

MACALISTER: There is an evolution going on that most people view gas as the

bridging fuel to a low carbon and...

GOODALL: Mm, yes, I've heard that.

Really unlikely people that you would never think would help.

MACALISTER: Onto happier things, including my joy at finding myself

here with you this evening.

GOODALL: Well it's my joy too.

MACALISTER: So thank you, Jane.

Jane stands out as somebody who will command your respect

in the softest possible way

and create the kind of change the world is hungry for.

LEWIS: And then going to Tanzania...

It is a huge jigsaw puzzle to try and plan Jane's working life.

Just in October this year, Lubbock, Los Angeles, Portland, Toronto, London,

Wales, Kitchener, Hamilton.

Along the road in the last 30 years, for me, one of the most exciting things has been the

development of the Jane Goodall Institute.

It has been able to change the lives of so many people.

Jane knew that she wanted to help chimpanzees and the local communities.

And over the years, the picture has become bigger and bigger.

And then, you're home again for a few days before you go to Germany.

I'd like to give Jane more time, I'd love to see our sanctuaries and programs

underwritten to the point where Jane stops worrying about racing to help raise

You're making me feel ill.

LEWIS: I'm making me feel ill just looking at this.

And he was making money by waiting at tables,

just like I did to get money to go to Africa.

GARROD (off-screen): And just a few weeks later, I ended up in North West Uganda,

all because I ended up serving Jane Goodall soup.

GOODALL: I think you need a special good morning, and Ben can help me.

Will you do it? One, two, three.

GARROD: She documented animals in a way that we'd never done so before.

She gave them names, she looked at their behaviors and attributed emotions and

feelings and ideas that we held so close to us that it defined our species.

And that was a big breakthrough

and that opened the floodgates for all this research.

GOODALL (off-screen): I am proud I was able to change the attitude of science

towards other animals.

And help them come out of this narrow reductionist way of thinking that said,

"We are the only beings on the planet with personality, mind and emotion,"

because it clearly isn't true.

Chimpanzees share 98.6% of our DNA.

Animals are way, way, way, way more intelligent than we used to think.

And also, we're using our own brains to think about our own environmental footsteps and

how we can leave as light a one as possible.

I cling to the belief that because of this extraordinary intellect,

we can and we are finding ways to live in greater harmony.

Because chimpanzees are so like us biologically, scientists were thinking,

"This is great, now we can have medical research done on chimpanzees."

WRANGHAM: In the 1980s, there were about 3000 chimps in captivity in the United States.

At the same time, the chimpanzees in the wild were a threatened species.

How to conduct the research effectively is one problem confronting the labs.

wiped the tears away.

Oh, you've got a snuffly nose.

WOMAN: Yes.

MAN (off-screen): You're probably thinking, by the time they grow up,

we won't be even using them in research anymore.

GOODALL: We hope so, don't we?

After those first visits to the labs, people began inviting me to conferences.

There were animal rights people who refused to talk to me.

They said, “How can you sit down and drink a cup of coffee with these people?”

But if you don't talk to people, how can you ever expect them to change?

(yelling).

I've always believed that if you want somebody to change their mind,

it's no good arguing but you've got to reach the heart.

GOODALL: Working here in a lab like this

you technicians have a really awesome responsibility.

GOODALL: I didn't stand there and accuse them of being cruel monsters,

I showed slides and some film of the Gombe chimpanzees and talked about their lives.

And then showed some slides of the chimps in the, in the small cages and said,

“This this, you know, it's like putting a person in a prison like that.”

Many of the scientists said, “We really have never thought about this in this way.”

A lot of them were actually crying,

and so I think this began a different way of thinking.

GALLO: She was an activist but didn't get under your skin.

She brought consciousness to our conscience and you say, well, you know,

this is a real ethical dilemma, and do we really need it?

Is there not an alternative?

GOODALL: Because there are things we can do, there are things we must do,

and certainly speaking for myself, I propose to devote the rest of my life to

fighting for these improvements for the chimps.

Bit by bit by bit, with the talk show hosts and various films that were made,

the change began.

But even so, it took a long time.

MAN (over TV): Recently, scientists began to realize that chimpanzees actually make

poor research subjects.

For instance, their immune systems are significantly different from humans.

GOODALL (off-screen): Even though they're so like us,

they don't respond in the way that we do,

and that's why there's such a push now for

finding alternatives to animal research.

FRANCIS: I was invited to come to a small dinner party in Washington,

where the guest of honor was Jane Goodall and I thought, well,

we'll have a nice friendly conversation.

I should have known better.

She told me with great accuracy as to the facts that NIH was continuing to

support invasive research on chimpanzees in unacceptable conditions

and I, as the Director of NIH, needed to do something about it.

That caused me to go and actually begin to look at the evidence.

After extensive consideration, NIH plans to substantially reduce chimpanzees in

biomedical research, and designate a significant portion of

NIH owned chimpanzees for retirement.

RICHMOND: Their days as widely used research animals appear to be coming to an end,

so what is to become of them now?

FRANCIS: We now owe them a thoughtful way to live out the rest of their lives,

and that means moving them to a sanctuary.

GOODALL (off-screen): When I heard that NIH was going to

no longer do testing on chimpanzees, it was like, phew.

(laughing).

It took such a long time.

Most of them are in Chimp Haven now.

Chimp Haven is an amazing place.

I've been there, been shown around.

For chimpanzees in captivity, it's pretty well perfect.

FRANCIS (off-screen): I think Jane's incredibly effective.

She's not going to stand up and say you all should have hope

in some sort of vague, cloudy way.

It's going to have to be hope attached to action that we all take responsibility for.

like, a grandmother role, making sure we're doing the right thing or always asking

us, like, how she can assist and finding out what our passion is in life.

GOODALL (off-screen): So, what about your visa?

ANGEL: Well, I get my passport, well, I was supposed to get it today,

but I'm gonna go tomorrow.

GOODALL: So, you have to get a new passport too?

MERLIN (off-screen): Yeah, I've already got mine though.

GOODALL: Being a grandmother is totally different because

I haven't been able to see much of my grandchildren.

I'm very proud of them.

I mean, Merlin is completely outstanding.

Angel is turning out to be really dedicated and passionate,

and my youngest grandson, Nick, is now working with his father and learning about the

business of building houses.

They're doing very well, all of them.

I was in Hungary, and I spoke to 60,000 people

at the second largest music festival in Europe about hope.

NICK: They thought, “Oh my god, it's Jane Goodall, is she about to perform?

Is she going to sing?”

ANGEL (off-screen): Imagine.

GOODALL (off-screen): No, they know I'm not going to perform.

NICK: To this day, you know, she's still traveling, just still fighting and fighting

even at her old age, like, she still has such crazy drive.

ANGEL (off-screen): She always says that she's doing this for her grandchildren and for her,

you know, my own children in the future, so I think that also motivates her

to keep doing what she does.

This is what she was born for.

GOODALL: Do we go that way? That way.

MERLIN: That way. ANGEL: This way.

Last time you came here, it was raining, remember that?

This actually reminds me a lot of Gombe.

It's so steep.

Gaj, your legs must have been so strong.

I mean, your pictures, they look pretty good, so...

GOODALL: They were smashing legs.

MERLIN: You all right there, Gaj?

ANGEL: So, we call our grandmother Gaj.

It came from our little cousins in the UK.

They call her Great Aunt Jane, so they shortened it to Gaj.

She loves it.

I think she prefers that more than grandmother, like, grandma.

I don't think any of my friends' grandmas will be out here hiking.

ANGEL: Will you manage, Gaj?

GOODALL: Can I manage? It's not steep.

Go on with you.

GOODALL: Do you know that there's certain birds that

use neem leaves to line their nests?

It kills the parasites.

MERLIN: I didn't know that.

Every time I'm with Jane, it's like lesson time.

GOODALL: This is extraordinary, isn't it?

MERLIN: Growing up, I didn't know the extent of how much my grandmother has impacted the

world, and how many people she had reached.

Like I wasn't known at school for being Dr. Jane Goodall's grandson.

It's, like, our responsibilities as individuals to

take care of what's around us.

Yeah, and she always inspires me every single day of my life.

GOODALL: Beautiful color.

MERLIN: Yeah.

After the day is done, we'll always get together and have a sundowner,

the famous Scotch whiskey.

GOODALL: All three grandchildren, they're not together that often.

MERLIN: Tried it when I was about 21 with her because she was very strict about that.

She was, like, not until you're 21.

She's more lenient now with my brother and sister.

We always have whiskey together and I really cherish those moments.

environmental destruction and degradation.

For the rest of my leadership, I shall summon all my energies to help in this campaign.

COLLINS (off-screen): When Jane became a conservation activist,

she went through the problem of changes in government.

She would do very, very well with the President.

It was fantastic. But, "whee" he's gone.

She has to start all over again.

This in a way made her think young people are the governments of the future.

At least some of them will eventually come to positions of power,

so she had these two strategies really.

Going for the high government and then to start on the young people as well.

So that was in 1991, that Roots and Shoots was founded here in Tanzania.

And today, it's around the world.

GOODALL: Hundreds and thousands of all ages are taking part in our

Roots and Shoots movement in 100 countries.

Together, we can change the world.

(applause).

GARROD: This was a very new approach.

What nobody had really done before was to involve actual children in conservation.

Now here we are, 30 odd years later, everyone's banging that drum.

I think there's a million kids in the UK alone

who have been through Roots and Shoots programs.

That's massive.

That's not a movement; that's an army.

That's a, that's a societal level way of thinking.

Down to Jane.

♪ Roots and shoots, Roots and shoots, Roots and Shoots ♪

GOODALL (off-screen): Right from the beginning of Roots and Shoots,

one of my goals was to bring young people from different cultures together,

and the group at Windsor is very special.

It's up to 30 young people.

They form little groups.

It's a very democratic process, involvement and consensus.

Well then they go back to their different countries and they take action.

PINDER: And we're introducing ourselves?

GOODALL: Hmm?

PINDER: We're introducing ourselves?

GOODALL (off-screen): Yes, you introduce yourself.

Where you come from.

PINDER: When I was younger, I thought that, you know, my voice was too small,

and I didn't have any influence or ability to make a difference.

But that's really erroneous thinking.

GOODALL: The things I've tried to pass on to young people that I've learned are don't be

confrontational, reach people's hearts to change their minds.

Don't do something because you want the honor and glory of it.

MAN (off-screen): Welcome!

GOODALL: We meet again. HARRY: How are you?

GOODALL: I'm okay, how are you?

Well, Prince Harry is coming.

It is very special.

He's really interested in what we're doing and, of course,

he's known to have this great interest in conservation in Africa.

First of all, we're really excited that you're here, because it shows a level of

interest which we don't always hear about.

As you probably remember, Roots and Shoots began in 1991,

and it began because I was meeting so many young people,

and they didn't seem to have much hope in the future.

They said, “Because you, meaning older generations, have compromised our future,

and there's nothing we can do about it” and we should feel shame,

but I don't think it's true that there's nothing that we can do about it.

Collectively, if we make wise choices, we can make a big difference.

HARRY (off-screen): We've seen all the logs up, but...

GIRL (off-screen): It's like, that's where the homes are.

GOODALL: Just pull the leaves up.

PINDER: Yeah, I think we really need to try and cultivate the right kind of

values in kids growing up in this world, because we've lost sight of what is important,

and we've lost our connection to the environment, and our connection to other people.

It's really important.

HARRY: Guys, well done.

GOODALL (off-screen): And they're so passionate and so dedicated.

They're the ones that give me hope in a very dark world.

HARRY: Do you think there's more awareness now than there ever has been?

GIRL: Yes, for sure.

HARRY: Yeah? Do you think the change can be consumer led?

GIRL: Until businesses and corporations

have made new regulations

the people need to act

but it would be the best if

policymakers would make a decision for the planet.

GOODALL (off-screen): I think Prince Harry was impressed by the quality of the young people

at Windsor because they are selected by their country.

They're representing their country's Roots and Shoots groups,

so they are kind of outstanding even before they come.

HARRY: Jane, if I may, and I also agree that young people have the power,

the compassion, and the tools to save our planet.

This is why the Roots and Shoots program is so inspiring.

When I heard all of you here today are part of a network of more than

150,000 Roots and Shoots groups, it's easy to see the potential in making a

massive impact in the places that you live, and together, reaching right around the world.

We have contributed to the problem,

and now we need to be the ones that create the solutions.

As my grandmother the queen once said, sometimes the world's problems are so big,

we think we can do little to help.

On our own, we cannot end wars, or wipe out injustice, but the cumulative impact of

thousands of small acts of goodness can be bigger than we imagine.

Change begins with you.

GOODALL: Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

No, I'm going to test you.

HARRY: Oh no.

GOODALL: Do you remember the chimpanzee greeting?

HARRY: Uh...vaguely.

GOODALL: Come on. Pat my head.

There. Well done.

PINDER: I used to feel incredibly angry learning about these problems that

we're facing, and also just the general lack of action that people were showing and

lack of leadership.

And, actually, Jane was a really important figure in that journey for me,

because her message of hope is such a powerful one,

and her message that every individual matters

and every individual makes a difference is an enabling one.

GOODALL: When I came in '60

it was all forest.

All of this was forest.

GRUB (off-screen): I remember a time when she was much more relaxed and

she could spend a lot of time at home.

Hi. Welcome back.

Would you like a coffee or tea?

GRUB (off-screen): And then that all changed.

I think in the early 90s, it was actually,

more than anything else it was kind of anger,

she became very angry with the situation in the world

and this is what sparked her passion.

GOODALL: When I flew over Gombe in 1990, it was shocking to see a tiny oasis of forest

that was Gombe surrounded by completely bare hills.

I was learning more and more about the plight of many of the people living in and

around chimp habitat, the crippling poverty, lack of good health and education

facilities as human populations grew.

There was a degradation of the land.

WALLAUER (off-screen): Gombe really is just a postage stamp.

It's less than 30 square miles.

It's a tiny area surrounded by people.

DANGERMOND (off-screen): Human beings are the great determiners of the ecology.

We're becoming an invasive species.

Not just in Gombe but it's all over the world.

GOODALL: It was at this moment that it hit me; if we don't help the people to find ways

of living without destroying the environment, we can't even try to save the chimpanzees.

I'm so happy to have come here today and seen you all.

GARROD (off-screen): When Jane really started working in conservation,

it was geared very differently.

It was very much an us and them with local communities and conservationists.

WRANGHAM (off-screen): Jane was one of the first people to realize that in order to

carry out effective conservation, you have to not merely engage with local people,

you have to make life positively better for them

as a result of the conservation efforts.

GOODALL (off-screen): And so that led to JGI's method of community-based conservation

which we called Take Care or TACARE.

A very holistic approach.

WOMAN: We welcome you to Bitale village.

MTITI: Initially, for the TACARE project

we started with twelve villages

and asked them, "What are really your priorities?"

MTITI: That's the time we realized that...

MTITI: deforestation was not their key issue.

They started with education, water, health.

That's the difference. Some people would have thought that Jane

is only concentrating on chimpanzees

but she cares about people

who share the same ecosystems with chimpanzees.

GOODALL: So, one, two, three, Meekee.

GROUP: Meekee!

MTITI (off-screen): And that has made her to be accepted.

GOODALL: One of the biggest problems today in conservation

is the fragmentation of habitat.

Most chimps in Tanzania that remain, about 2,000, they are not in protected areas and

when I flew over Gombe in 1990 it was very clear the chimpanzees were isolated

from other chimpanzees.

GARROD (off-screen): But in order to be successful in the long term for the next hundred

or thousand years, they need to be genetically viable as well.

So creating forest corridors, these little pockets, these little strands,

these little shoelaces going between these little green islands

allows this connectivity.

GOODALL: And it's begun to work because the local communities see

the value of it to their own future.

MAN: How many times have you been here?

GOODALL: Oh, about three?

MAN: Three times.

MAN: They're singing a song for you.

GOODALL: I feel like the Pied Piper.

PINTEA: One of the first technologies which we start to use is satellite imagery.

The community mapping process,

it opened this amazing possibilities for us to talk

about landscape, resources, what is important, how it changed.

GOODALL: One of the first things that happened with the villagers after they began to

see these satellite maps was that they have to make land use management plans.

MAN: This area, once there was a landslide,

(speaking native language).

MAN: And the soil went over the houses.

(speaking native language).

MAN: And that's why I believe that we should keep this forest over here.

Because otherwise if we don't keep it

then the soil maybe there will be another landslide and

it's something that we don't want it to happen.

GOODALL: All of the villages provide volunteers to become forest monitors and use

smartphones and they decided between them that they would

record illegally cut trees, animal traps.

MSAFIRI: In this region, there used to be many chimpanzees.

There were not many people living in this area.

Once the population increased, so did the use of firewood.

GOODALL: Now that the villagers are monitoring and protecting their own forests,

that gives a chance for the chimpanzees to survive.

MSAFIRI: My job, the reason my job needs to exist

is that in the forests, we guard the beings living there.

These beings need to be protected just as we protect ourselves.

GOODALL (off-screen): A group of people who understand the importance of reforestation,

who understand that protecting the forest isn't just to save the wildlife,

it's their own future.

And they get it.

MAN: So these are the areas that they should not cultivate

so that the forest can regenerate.

PINTEA: When I look at Kigalye Village, at the satellite imagery,

and start seeing those trees coming back, is the power of nature to regenerate.

It looks beautiful, and the forests are getting bigger and bigger.

So thank you so much for giving all of us hope.

Other NGOs are also imitating now.

They're our imitators. So we're quite proud of that.

She has inspired a lot of communities around us.

So people feel like well,

she is not only about wildlife, she is also about people.

GOODALL: Thank you. Safe journey to you.

I learned in the rain forest everything's interconnected.

It's useless trying to save chimps by carving out

a piece of land and pushing the people off.

Last year, I think it was two, maybe now it's three,

females from outside came in and they

are providing the Gombe chimps with new hope.

She has to cope with babies coming in horribly wounded, which is not easy.

Not easy at all.

ATENCIA: Most of these chimpanzees, they confiscated them when they were little,

like one kilo, that they were dying.

And we give them

the opportunity to be with other chimpanzees like them.

And now we are giving them this paradise.

They are living together and having normal behaviors.

They can have food that they can find in the forest.

It's amazing and

I cannot describe how good I feel with that.

One box on each vehicle but hook it well.

We also need a case of syringes.

You prepared the box? Good.

two chimpanzees, they've been in captivity for all these years.

Please, do you have a space in your sanctuary for take these two chimps?

ATENCIA: We are working on this confiscation for over one year.

Two weeks ago we heard that they just confiscated a baby.

And we say, "Okay, if you have a baby

we need to take the baby, too."

It's like a baby of two years old.

GOODALL: The sad part is when some of these efforts fail.

ATENCIA: You have many chimpanzees in captivity, in very bad conditions.

ATENCIA: The human took them from the wild

So there are different ways of coping with that.

ATENCIA: We want to integrate them

in a small group of chimpanzees that we have here in the

rehabilitation center.

Balimba, come here!

ATENCIA (off-screen): And we want to see their reaction with them.

We want to see their behavior.

If it's a normal chimpanzee behavior or if they have any issue when they are going to

be with dominant males, because they never been with dominant males.

Sometimes it's not easy.

ATENCIA: They are not happy.

We have to go.

ATENCIA: I always hope that they are going to have a nice group.

ATENCIA: They need to be accepted by the others.

ATENCIA (off-screen): Maybe we can integrate them in one of the islands.

But we need to wait.

It depends all of the individual.

ATENCIA: The new baby

she's going to do the quarantine with the caregiver.

ATENCIA: And after that, we are going to integrate her with the three little babies

She's going to spend time here in the forest to understand how to move here,

how to climb the trees, how to eat some natural fruits.

ATENCIA: That's the,

the future for the baby.

is that

all the sanctuaries with chimpanzees, we don't need that.

All the chimpanzees they should be at the forest.

They should be wild.

And our center, everything on the forest side is green,

and everything on the other side is these roofed houses.

There's a lot of development happening.

So many people coming into the city and space is very scarce.

What we are wanting to do is bring in children that don't normally have the opportunity

to be immersed into the forest and feel the connectivity.

Let's go check out the lab.

Cause if you're not there, if you don't see it, you don't see the value in it.

I think he's learned a lot from listening to me talking to young people,

but he has it in him as well.

Chimpanzees!

GROUP: Chimpanzees!

GOODALL: Monkey! GROUP: Monkey!

GOODALL: Plant a tree! GROUP: Plant a tree!

GOODALL (off-screen): You need to come and get whiskey.

So here we go.

This was such a fun thing that the grandchildren did, wasn't it?

My fun arrival.

Look at this!

That's yours, right?

Mr. H, would you like some whiskey?

You deserve some.

There. There you are.

“Thank you”, he says.

Right. Color of the sky is amazing.

When I'm gone, I've worked hard enough that there are hundreds and hundreds of

young people around the world and already they're taking over.

They're out there.

♪ ♪

GOODALL (off-screen): So many treasures!

They all should be framed and...

MAN (off-screen): Brought to one place.

LEWIS: Yes, well, they will be in time.

Our Jane Goodall museum going.

GOODALL: I've lived nearly 86 years on this planet,

and I feel I've worked pretty hard all my life.

I'm very passionate.

LEWIS: A lot of your books are on the top, and then the various languages,

not all of course.

GOODALL: Being the way I am, and feeling that I have a message to give,

and that I was put on this planet to do it, I have to do it, and I can't give up.

GOODALL (over film): As I am not a defeatist, it only made

my determination to succeed stronger.

There was never any thought of quitting.

I should forever have lost all self-respect if I had given up.

GARROD (off-screen): Do you want me to open it for you?

See what he's written?

GOODALL (off-screen): See what he's written.

GARROD: Jane Goodall rocks.

GOODALL: Jane Goodall rocks.

Oh look!

GARROD: Oh, he's written you a whole letter!

GOODALL: Read it to me.

GARROD: To Jane, I am writing to you because I am fascinated in you.

You are the coolest woman ever.

I am going to be like you when I'm older, Luca.

GOODALL: Hello.

GOODALL (off-screen): Being Jane Goodall gets very overwhelming.

I mean, there's so much love showered onto me.

MAN: Thank you so much!

GOODALL (off-screen): Hello there.

Hi. There you go.

And that becomes totally overwhelming.

MAN: I'm a huge fan, but I'm sure you hear that all the time.

GOODALL: It's better than hearing, "I hate you," isn't it?

MAN: That's true! That's quite true.

GOODALL: But then there was a certain point when I thought, well, okay,

this is going to help me do what I do.

GARROD: Our guest this evening needs absolutely no introduction.

Dr. Jane Goodall.

GOODALL (off-screen): I was asked the other day, "What's your next adventure."

What's my next adventure?

So I said, well, dying.

There was a kind of startled silence.

And I said, "Well, when you die, there's either nothing, in which case fine,

it's finished, over, you don't know anymore or there's something."

And I happen to believe there's more than just this one physical life.

I haven't the faintest idea what else there is, but if that's true,

then what greater adventure can there be?

NICHOLS: The mission, it's not chimpanzees.

Come on. It's the Earth.

We're stewards of it, and we've got to take care of it.

GOODALL: Let's go quickly!

MAN: I can't run that fast.

GOODALL: I can!

COLLINS: She's an example because, to be discouraged,

to lose hope and do nothing, we're all sunk.

GOODALL: Meekee! GROUP: Meekee!

MERLIN: She's a catalyst that connects all of us.

LEWIS (off-screen): She just has that kind of magic that inspires people to change

their whole ways of life and help.

GHARIB: I want to be as Jane Goodall, the second wonder woman in the world.

GARROD: There is only one Jane Goodall.

But you can be a little bit like Jane, I think that's it.

I think we can all aspire to be a little bit like Jane and that's her impact.

GOODALL (off-screen): This climate crisis, it's a critical time in our planet.

A lot of people understand the problem, but they do nothing because they feel helpless.

Because so what if I pick up trash?

So what if I turn off taps?

So what if I think about making ethical choices in my shopping?

So what?

If it was just me, it wouldn't make any difference at all.

But it's not true, we're beginning to do better.

Hope is contingent upon our taking action together soon.

All of us. Every single one of us.

We've all got to do our bit.

We've got to act together.

We've got to act together fast.

At the end of every event in Tanzania where Roots and Shoots began,

I found that the young people had a way of ending, saying,

“Together we can save the world!”

So I said, “Yes we can, but will we?”

And so now, they say, “Together we can, together we will!”

So could we all do that, if we care, if we believe?

Together we can, together we will save the world!

Thank you.

(applause).

Thank you for being part of my hope for the future.

(sighs).

MAN: Good job, Jane.

GOODALL (off-screen): That's what keeps me going.

The audience makes a huge difference.

WOMAN (off-screen): It does.

GOODALL: Thank you. I deserve this, right?

MAN (off-screen): Heck yeah.

WOMAN (off-screen): Cheers. MAN (off-screen): Excellent.

GOODALL: Cheers. WOMAN (off-screen): Cheers.
