“Reasons for Hope”
An Evening with Dr. Jane Goodall

Thursday, September 22, 2005, 7 p.m.
Drake Knapp Center, Drake University

Conservationist Jane Goodall, Ph.D., and Dame of the British Empire, dreamed of being “Jane of the Jungle” as a young girl in the mid 1940s. She brought that dream to life by living in Africa, studying chimpanzees and sparking the evolution of humanity’s understanding of wildlife and the world. Drawing on more than 40 years of work as a tireless advocate for environmental stewardship, personal action and humanitarianism, Dr. Goodall inspires audiences to reach above and beyond what they’ve believed they can do and challenges people’s beliefs to instill a “Reason for Hope” for the world and environment. She is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, a United Nations Messenger of Peace and has authored many books, including In the Shadow of Man, My Life with the Chimpanzees and the popular Jane Goodall’s Animal World children’s series.
