History
 Jane Morris Goodall was born in 1935 in London. When she was one, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee. She still has it. This toy started her love of the animals. 
 Africa
 Goodall visited a friend on a farm in Kenya in 1957. She was captivated by life in Africa and the study of animals there. Soon she began working for Louis Leakey, a famous scientist who studied prehistoric apes and humans. Leakey realised Goodall  was very serious about her work and sent her to study in London. In 1960,  she returned to Africa to study chimps in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. 
 Doctorate
 In 1962, Leakey sent Goodall  to study for a doctorate in ethology - the study of animal behaviour. She was only the eighth person to be allowed to study for a doctorate without first having another degree.
 Marriage
 In 1964, Goodall  married Hugo van Lawick. They had one son but soon divorced. She then married Derek Bryceson, the head of national parks in Tanzania. He helped ensure that Goodall  could carry on with her projects in the Gombe park. Her husband died of cancer in 1980.
 Chimpanzees
 The first chimp Goodall befriended was called David Greybeard. She gave all the wild chimps names rather than just numbers as had been the practice. She saw the chimps use simple tools like blades of grass to fish for ants and leaves to collect rainwater.  She found that the chimps had a lot more in common with us than anyone had realised. 
 Wildlife Awareness Weeks
 Goodall started Wildlife Awareness Weeks around the world to enhance people's understanding about the welfare of wild animals. She also supports animal rights. She  is a vegetarian and urges others not to eat meat.  
 Roots and Shoots
 Goodall also launched the worldwide Roots and Shoots groups. Her aim was to teach children to respect all living things. Visit the Hong Kong Roots and Shoots website at www.rootsandshoots.org.hk.
