MALE: Ladies and gentlemen, you are in for a special treat tonight.
Dr Jane Goodall.
I’m a huge fan, but I’m sure you hear that all the time.
DR GOODALL: It’s better than hearing, “I hate you,” isn’t it?
DR 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.
MICHAEL: All these young people looking at her like she was a deity.
DR 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.
MARY: To change the lives of so many people,
over the years the picture has become bigger and bigger.
RODNEY: She goes for the kind of change the world is hungry for.
MICHAEL: 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.
DR GOODALL: My job is to go around and inspire people
and get them to take action.
DR COLLINS: We say, “Slow down,” she says,
“No, no, time’s running out, time to speed up.”
DR GOODALL: I have to run, I have to run.
DR COLLINS: I think the cost is very high,
but she’s driven by her mission.
DR GOODALL: If you want somebody to change their mind,
it’s no good arguing, you’ve got to reach the heart.
DR GARROD: Most scientists don’t talk about hope, Jane gives that human side.
LAMIS: She started something and we do not want it to stop.
DR 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!
(music)
DR GOODALL: Thank you.
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.
Mmmm.
But for you, I might never have gone to Africa.
MALE: 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.
DR GOODALL: 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.
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.
MALE: 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.”
DR GOODALL: Hello. Oh yes, here we are.
(music)
I have to run, I have to run. I have to run.
Get warm, or else I can’t talk on the stage.
MALE: 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.
(music) (applause)
(music) (applause)
DR GOODALL: Well, wow.
Thank you for that wonderful welcome.
A special greeting for you, since you gave me a special, special greeting.
[chimpanzee noises)
(applause)
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.
DR WRANGHAM: The chimpanzee population had been falling from something like
two million in the wild at the beginning of the 20th Century,
into 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.
DR GOODALL: Jane Goodall. Um…
DR 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.
DR 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.
FEMALE: Are there any environmental threats in that area of Tanzania
like habitat destruction that we should be concerned about?
DR GOODALL: Unfortunately, in Tanzania, like all across the chimps’ range
in Africa, the habitat is disappearing.
CHARLES: Did you like it better when you were unknown?
DR 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.
CHARLES: So, you go public in effect for them?
DR GOODALL: For the chimps.
If I stopped doing that, I would feel a real traitor,
because they’ve done so much for me.
DR COLLINS: 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.
DR GOODALL: Climate Change, it’s happening.
If we lose hope, then we might 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.
(laughs)
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.
MICHAEL: What’s Jane’s existence like? It’s tough.
DR GOODALL: 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.
DR GOODALL: My students do, but I’m always travelling.
Trying to save the world, that’s a bit of a tough job.
MICHAEL: Jane is 24/7.
When you become Mother Teresa for the environment, it’s what you get.
DR GOODALL: I always use my coffee grounds twice, just to add a little to it.
Making of the toast. It works really well.
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.
DR 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.
(music in foreign language)
(music in foreign language)
DR GOODALL: 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.”
LAMIS: 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.
MUNAWAR: 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.”
(screams) (laughs)
DR 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.
MUNAWAR: 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.
(foreign language)
LAMIS: 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.
CHILDREN: ♪ We are the Roots and Shoots of the living world, ♪
♪ Roots and Shoots everywhere, the hopes and dreams of the living world ♪
(applause)
(music)
DR 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?
JAMES: 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.
DR 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.”
FEMALE: Welcome to Kinshasa, Jane. So, they did.
And it really, really, I mean I was able to stay in the embassies,
they met me at airports.
JAMES: 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.
DR GOODALL: 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.
MICHAEL: 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.
DR 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.
DR 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.
RODNEY: 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.”
DR GOODALL: Rod! RODNEY: Jane! Wow! How great is this?
DR GOODALL: I’m trying to work out how many years
RODNEY: 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?
(laughs) Heck no.
DR GOODALL: Poor things. They have no idea what’s happening.
RODNEY: 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: One, two, three, four, five.
Christopher lagging behind.
RODNEY: 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: 100 percent success.
DR GOODALL: See, there he goes.
MICHAEL: It became an official sanctuary, Tchimpounga.
And you have to take care of them for the rest of their lives.
DR GOODALL: Gregoire was one of the chimpanzees airlifted to Tchimpounga.
Seeing him in an open space was very, very heartwarming.
You silly old man!
RODNEY: 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.
DR GOODALL: Oh yes! You’re so silly.
RODNEY: 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.
DR GOODALL: Two people is more.
DR WRANGHAM: 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.
MICHAEL: 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.
DR GOODALL: I’m hoping that yours and all those people that you’ve mentioned
will be out of jobs in the oil industry 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.
RODNEY: There is an evolution going on that most people view gas
as the bridging fuel to a low carbon and DR GOODALL: …heard that.
Really unlikely people that you would never think would help.
RODNEY: Onto happier things, including my joy
at finding myself here with you this evening.
DR GOODALL: Well it’s my joy too.
RODNEY: 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.
(music)
DR GOODALL: You know, I’m traveling around the world,
I come back here between every tour.
I first came to live here when war broke out when I was five years old.
So, we came here in ‘40.
This is now belonging to me and my sister, Judy.
And I have my little area up at the top.
It’s my roots.
When I’m here, at least I’m in one place, one bed, no lectures.
When I come here, I can really be me.
It’s home.
MARY: Let’s see what else is on our quick list.
August. There’s no point in coming back home.
Shall we look at going Tchimpounga?
And then going to Tanzania DR GOODALL: Yeah.
MARY: It is a huge jigsaw puzzle to try and plan Jane’s working life.
MARY: 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 funds to ensure their security.
Another thing off the list.
DR GOODALL: The kind of life I’m living now is completely crazy.
And there are times when I think, “I cannot go on like this.”
You’re making me feel ill.
MARY: I’m making me feel ill just looking at this.
It’s quite scary.
DR GOODALL: I had this little Bible box that I made for my grandmother
with texts in it all rolled up.
And when I’ve been grumbling away to Judy,
cause I’ve got to get ready to go on another trip
and I don’t want to go, and I’ve got to pack a suitcase again.
And three times I’ve picked out of these jumble of hundreds of little rolls,
“He who has set his hand to the plow and turns back is not fit for the kingdom of God.”
Judy says, “Okay, off you go.”
MARY: Spain in February, because you’ve got a gap in that time
Jane’s work has never been more important.
At 85 she’s feeling finite, as we all do in the last decades
of our hopefully long lives.
But let’s not make any promises to go anywhere,
(laughs)
cause we’re running out of minutes let alone days.
DR GOODALL: What about Turkey?
MARY: Ah, yes. Turkey. That event
I know that Jane feels very driven,
and at the same time knows that her time to outreach is limited.
And so that she needs to engage every second to do as much as she can before
she can no longer do it.
DR GOODALL: Look at them all.
DR GARROD: They seem my likeness.
The ability for people to see Jane Goodall and hear Jane Goodall
and be in the same room as Jane is incredible.
I first met Jane when I was an undergraduate student.
I grew up with her as a-as my academic superhero.
As you’ve seen already, we’ve got a very special visitor today
to help us open this incredible new building.
DR GOODALL: I first met Ben Garrod when I was giving a talk in Cambridge.
And he was making money by waiting at tables,
just like I did to get money to go to Africa.
DR GARROD: And just a few weeks later, I ended up in North West Uganda,
all because I ended up serving Jane Goodall soup.
DR GOODALL: I think you need a special good morning, and Ben can help me.
Will you do it? One, two, three.
(chimpanzee noises)
DR 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 in 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.
DR GOODALL: 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 percent of our DNA.
Animals are way, way, way, way more intelligent than we used to think.
DR GARROD: Jane helped us understand how great apes were.
These feeling, emotive and caring beings.
DR GOODALL: Hello.
DR GARROD: In terms of Jane’s impact on the scientific world,
Jane’s up there with the absolute best of them, she really is.
DR GOODALL: Oh yes.
DR GARROD: Albert Einstein did his things with physics and undeniably,
Jane’s done exactly the same with biology. These are tardigrades?
WOMAN: These are tardigrades, yes.
DR GARROD: Really!
DR GOODALL: They are the most amazing little creatures.
WOMAN: Aren’t they wonderful?
DR GOODALL: Yes, they are. They really are.
One of my reasons for hope is this intellect of ours.
And science is beginning to come up with innovative ways that we can live
in greater harmony with the planet.
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.
DR GARROD: Most scientists don’t talk about hope and yet, Jane does.
Jane gives that human side to the rigorous science.
DR GOODALL: I truly believe it’s only when head and heart work in harmony
that we can achieve our true human potential.
DR GOODALL: When I first went to Gombe,
it was the most amazing time of my life.
DR COLLINS: One of the things which is important for her is to get away
and retouch her roots.
DR GOODALL: I have to go this side.
MALE: Do you need a hand? DR GOODALL: No, it’s okay.
DR COLLINS: Everything which has happened today is because of the experiences
she had in the forest.
And she needs to take strength from that.
DR GOODALL: Better.
DR COLLINS: The alone in the forest is what matters to her.
DR GOODALL: Out in the forest, I had this very strong feeling of a great
spiritual power out there.
It was the kind of feeling that I sometimes have in one of the old cathedrals
where people have been to worship year after year after year.
The chimpanzees I knew in the old days are almost all gone.
But one of the ones who was my real, I say friend, was Gremlin.
The last time I actually saw Gremlin, she came right up
to me and looked into my eyes.
I mean, of course they recognize us just as we recognize them.
And I’ve always had a strange connection with animals.
I connect with people with words, with animals it’s more mind to mind.
So many things in my life seem to be coincidence,
but I’m not sure I believe that anymore,
because things happen, I think they seem to happen for a reason.
I vividly remember the first time I saw secretly filmed footage
in a primate research lab.
Because chimpanzees are so like us biologically, scientists were thinking,
“This is great, now we can have medical research done on chimpanzees.”
DR WRANGHAM: In the 1980s, there were about 3000 chimps
in captivity in the United States.
At the same, the chimpanzees in the wild were a threatened species.
DR COLLINS: When she heard that chimpanzees were in danger, she felt,
“Well, I’ve had this privilege and I feel now
I have a responsibility, that I can speak for them.”
DR GOODALL: I knew I had to go into the labs so that I could talk about it
from my own experience, and not just somebody else’s film.
MICHAEL: I ended up going to labs with Jane and it was pretty hard to do
if you care about chimpanzees.
Chimpanzees know whenever Jane comes in the room
that she’s got something different than the other people.
They know it.
They were all come to the edge of the cage and want to interact with her.
DR GOODALL: You want it back? No, you don’t, do you?
You want me to have it. Oh I know, you want me to look at myself.
Now, if I turn this way, you can see me and you in the mirror.
MAN: Today, the bulk of research with chimps involves exposing them
to a disease or vaccine and monitoring their reaction.
How to conduct the research effectively is one problem confronting the labs.
Another is how to care for these intelligent creatures.
DR GOODALL: One of the labs I visited I was shown into this room with four chimps
down each side, five foot by five foot cages,
seven foot high and the first one was called Jo-Jo.
He was a very handsome male.
He’d been alone for 15 years or so and I looked into his eyes
and I was thinking of the Gombe chimpanzees lying in their soft ground,
making leafy nests, grooming each other and he’d been there alone all this time,
and so tears began trickling under my mask and he reached out
a gentle finger and wiped the tears away.
-Oh, you’ve got a snuffly nose. WOMAN: Yes.
MALE: You’re probably thinking, by the time they grow up,
we won’t be even using them in research anymore.
DR 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?
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.
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.
DR 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?
DR 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: Recently, scientists began to realize that chimpanzees actually
make poor research subjects.
For instance, their immune systems are significantly different than humans.
DR GOODALL: 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.
DR COLLINS: 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.
DR COLLINS: After extensive consideration,
NIH plans to substantially reduce chimpanzees in biomedical research,
and designate a significant portion of NIH owned chimpanzees for retirement.
DENNIS: Their days as widely used research animals appear to be coming to an end,
so what is to become of them now?
DR COLLINS: We now owe them a thoughtful way to live out the rest of their lives,
and that means moving them to a sanctuary.
DR GOODALL: When I heard that NIH was going to no longer do testing on chimpanzees,
it was like, phew.
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.
DR COLLINS: 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.
(music)
MERLIN: Whenever Jane comes down and visit, which she doesn’t so often,
she’ll come down to our family house here.
ANGEL: I feel like when she’s around us as a family,
she’s just herself, like, more of a, 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.
DR GOODALL: 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.
DR GOODALL: So, you have to get a new passport too?
MERLIN: Yeah, I’ve already got mine though.
DR 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?
(laughs)
Is she going to sing?” ANGEL: Imagine.
DR GOODALL: No, 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: 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.
DR 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.
they were.
I mean, your pictures, they look pretty good, so
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.
ANGEL: I don’t think any of my friends’ grandmas will be out here hiking.
DR 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.
DR 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.
DR GOODALL: And look, here’s a moth. That’s at Gombe.
Isn’t it beautiful? ANGEL: It is.
MERLIN: Is that a moth? ANGEL: Look, there’s-ooh!
My bad, it was my fault.
DR GOODALL: You made it go.
You’re useless.
ANGEL: No I’m not!
DR GOODALL: Yes you are.
ANGEL: So, my grandmother’s taught me to take care of nature.
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.
DR GOODALL: Beautiful color.
MERLIN: Yeah.
MERLIN: After the day is done, we’ll always get together
and have a sundowner, the famous Scotch whiskey.
DR 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.
DR GOODALL: Isn’t this weather perfect?
It’s beautiful.
(band music)
MALE: I thank you, Dr. Goodall, for realizing that poverty is the fuel
that drives environmental destruction and degradation.
For the rest of my leadership,
I shall summon all my energies to help in this campaign.
DR COLLINS: 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.
DR GOODALL: Hundreds and thousands of all ages are taking part in our Roots
and Shoots movement in a hundred countries.
Together, we can change the world.
DR 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.
BOYS AND GIRLS: ♪ Roots and shoots, Roots and shoots, Roots and Shoots. ♪
DR GOODALL: 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.
JESS: And we’re introducing ourselves? DR GOODALL: Hmm?
JESS: We’re introducing ourselves?
DR GOODALL: Yes, you introduce yourself.
Where you come from.
JESS: 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.
DR 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: Welcome!
DR GOODALL: We meet again. PRINCE HARRY: How are you?
DR GOODALL: I’m okay, how are you?
Well, His Royal Highness 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.
(applause)
PRINCE HARRY: We’ve seen all the logs up, but
GIRL: It’s like, that’s where the homes are.
DR GOODALL: Just pull the leaves up.
JESS: Yeah, I think we really need to try
and cultivate the right kind of values of 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.
PRINCE HARRY: Guys, well done.
DR GOODALL: And they’re so passionate and so dedicated.
They’re the ones that give me hope in a very dark world.
PRINCE HARRY: Do you think there’s more awareness now than there ever has been?
GIRL: Yes, for sure. PRINCE HARRY: Yeah?
Do you think the change can be consumer led?
DR GOODALL: 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.
PRINCE 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 to 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.
DR GOODALL: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
(applause)
No, I’m going to test you. PRINCE HARRY: Oh no.
DR GOODALL: Do you remember the chimpanzee greeting?
PRINCE HARRY: Uh, vaguely.
DR GOODALL: Come on.
Pat my head.
(chimpanzee noises)
There. Well done.
(applause)
JESS: 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.
PRINCE HARRY: You guys are really the stone in the pond, right?
The ripple effect. DR GOODALL: That’s right. Yeah.
PRINCE HARRY: Everything you do everything you say is gonna have an impact
on everyone around you.
DR GOODALL: Thanks for coming, Harry. PRINCE HARRY: Bye guys.
ALL: Bye.
GIRL: I hope I made you proud.
DR GOODALL: You’ve definitely made me proud.
(music)
GRUB: 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?
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.
DR GOODALL: 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.
BILL: Gombe really is just a postage stamp.
It’s less than 30 square miles.
It’s a tiny area surrounded by people.
JACK: 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.
DR 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.
DR GARROD: 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.
DR WRANGHAM: 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.
DR GOODALL: And so that led to JGI’s method of community-based conservation
which we called Take Care or TACARE.
A very holistic approach.
DR GOODALL: So, one, two, three, Meekee
EMMANUEL: And that has made her to be accepted.
DR 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.
DR GARROD: 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.
DR GOODALL: And it’s begun to work because the local communities
see the value of it to their own future.
DR GOODALL: Oh, about three? MALE: Three times.
DR 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.
DR 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.
(foreign language)
DR GOODALL: All of the villages provide volunteers to become forest monitors
and use smart phones and they decided between them
that they would record illegally cut trees, animal traps.
DR GOODALL: Now that the villagers are monitoring and protecting their own forests,
that gives a chance for the chimpanzees to survive.
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.
DR 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.
DR COLLINS: Long term effect is spreading.
Other NGOs are also imitating now.
There are imitators.
So we’re quite proud of that.
DR 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.
And now some remnant chimpanzee groups move out along the corridor.
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.
(music)
RODNEY: We built this orphan chimpanzee sanctuary in the Congo
with the vision that this is part of something a whole lot bigger.
DR GOODALL: Tchimpounga started with just a few chimpanzees from Brazzaville Zoo.
Even today, they’ve got a huge problem with orphan chimpanzees.
So when Rebeca Atencia agreed to come and take over Tchimpounga,
everything changed for the better.
DR GOODALL: She’s a veterinarian and built up Tchimpounga.
And now that we have the three islands on the river where the chimpanzees
live a more wildlife, it’s completely amazing.
DR ATENCIA: In Tchimpounga Sanctuary, we have 137 chimpanzees.
We have the biggest sanctuary in Africa.
DR GOODALL: She has to cope with sick and dying chimpanzees.
She has to cope with babies coming in horribly wounded, which is not easy.
Not easy at all.
DR ATENCIA: I receive a call and they were saying please,
we have this case, 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?
DR GOODALL: The sad part is when some of these efforts fail.
DR ATENCIA: You have many chimpanzees in captivity, in very bad conditions.
DR ATENCIA: Put the box close to the door?
The chimpanzee needs to go into the dormitory.
At the same time when she’s going to be in the dormitory, we’ll close the door.
DR ATENCIA: We were tired, we want water, and we said,
it’s so late but we were so happy
because we were here in Congo, in Tchimpounga, and they were with us.
Now these chimpanzees are safe.
DR GOODALL: When you’re moving chimpanzees from one place
to another in any situation, it’s stressful for them.
So there are different ways of coping with that.
Sometimes it’s two chimpanzees who are friends
and have each other’s company.
DR ATENCIA: 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.
DR ATENCIA: I always hope that they are going to have a nice group,
DR ATENCIA: Maybe we can integrate them in one of the islands.
But we need to wait.
It depends all of the individual.
DR ATENCIA: And after that, we are going to integrate her with the three little
babies that we have here in the forest.
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.
That’s the, the future for the baby.
DR GOODALL: I’ve met so many chimpanzees who survived horrific treatment
at our hands, and what’s amazing is that somehow almost every one
of them manages to form some kind of social group.
Animals rescued and given this other chance are so absolutely remarkable.
MERLIN: I only get to see Jane twice a year.
So every time she’s around here, that is very special.
To be honest, you never really know what’s going to happen.
Tomorrow, or the next day, and I’m not sure how much time I have left with Jane,
so every moment that I get to spend with her,
and her unbelievably busy schedule is-is a cherished moment.
I work with the Jane Goodall Institute
developing nature education center located in Pugu,
and Pugu is right on the outskirts of Dar Es Salaam.
It used to be part of the forest that expanded
throughout the east African coast.
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.
You don’t get connected.
And if you don’t get connected and see the value, then you just don’t care.
And if you don’t care, you’re not going to do anything to help protect it.
CHILDREN: ♪ Roots and shoots, everywhere.
The hopes and dreams of the living world. ♪
(music)
HENDRY: My name is Hendry Michael Kanyama.
I am ten years old.
I’m heading 11.
This place is called Pugu.
I’ve never been here before.
When I heard the announcement I was, like, what the?
What, what is this place?
MAN: We all know the forest, right?
We all know the trees?
But where do the trees come from?
So this one are the tree nurseries.
So what we are doing?
We are raising the seedlings, okay?
Okay, let’s move now.
HENDRY: When I got into the fifth grade, I was pretty scared because new grade,
new people from new schools.
MAN: Oh, you found some leaves.
It has like some hairs in it. HENDRY: Yeah.
MAN: So it can… HENDRY: Yeah.
And I saw this club, Roots and Shoots,
and then we started doing cool activities so I said it’s pretty great,
I’m going to stay here.
GIRL: Thank you.
HENDRY: Kids, we’re the next generation, right?
Now we need to start moving our ideas to the adults so when they pass on,
we come in front and we remember we said this when we were ten.
WOMAN: These are 17 goals to protect the planet against climate change.
MAN: So each group is going to choose at least one or two goals.
MERLIN: Talk about cutting trees and how cutting trees effects climate action.
DR GOODALL: We made it.
I think they look totally engaged.
MERLIN: Yeah, they’re loving it.
It’s so good.
Hey guys, attention for a moment.
MAN: Attention!
How many of you know the name of our special guest?
GIRL: Jane Goodall. MAN: Really? Wow, perfect.
HENDRY: Jane Goodall, she’s, when people’s talking about the theory of mother nature,
I think she is-she is the mother nature.
BOY: Dear mother nature, thank you for your water.
It sustains all of our body functions.
Thank you for your animals, who are companions, show us love,
and teach us how to play and live close to the earth.
(applause)
HENDRY: Dr. Jane, she’s been saving the world for almost 86 years now.
Next year she’s going to be 86.
I want to tell her she needs to keep being healthy so she can continue Roots and Shoots
and be the most, like, heartwarming mother of all times.
Yeah.
DR GOODALL: We can’t exist without mother nature, because just like you said,
we get our water, we get our clean air.
Every single one of us matters.
Every single one of us has some role to play.
MERLIN: So if we can reach through to the kids when they’re growing up,
which is what we’re doing through our Roots and Shoots programs,
then you have a chance to actually get into the heart of someone.
When these guys grow up, they’re going to come into
the positions of authority and decision making.
What type of live is there in the water?
What lives below water? GIRLS: Fish. MERLIN: Okay, what else?
DR GOODALL: I honestly haven’t given Merlin much advice.
I think he’s learned a lot from listening to me talking to young people,
but he has it in him as well.
Chimpanzees!
PEOPLE: Chimpanzees!
DR GOODALL: Monkey!
PEOPLE: Monkey!
DR GOODALL: Plant a tree!
PEOPLE: Plant a tree!
DR GOODALL: 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.
DR GOODALL: So many treasures!
They all should be framed and
MAN: Brought to one place.
MARY: Yes, well, they will be in time.
Our Jane Goodall museum going.
DR 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.
MARY: A lot of your books are on the top,
and then the various languages, not all of course.
DR 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.
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.
DR GARROD: Do you want me to open it for you?
See what he’s written?
DR GOODALL: See what he’s written.
DR GARROD: Jane Goodall rocks.
DR GOODALL: Jane Goodall rocks. Oh look!
DR GARROD: Oh, he’s written you a whole letter!
DR GOODALL: Read it to me.
DR 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.
DR GOODALL: Being Jane Goodall gets very overwhelming.
I mean, there’s so much love showered onto me.
MAN: Thank you so much!
DR GOODALL: 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.
DR GOODALL: It’s better than hearing, “I hate you,” isn’t it?
MAN: That’s true!
That’s quite true.
DR GOODALL: But then there was a certain point when I thought, well, okay,
this is going to help me do what I do.
DR GARROD: Our guest this evening needs absolutely no introduction.
Dr. Jane Goodall.
DR GOODALL: 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?
MICHAEL: 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.
DR COLLINS: She’s an example because, to be discouraged, to lose hope and do nothing,
we’re all sunk.
MERLIN: She’s a catalyst that connects all of us.
MARY: She just has that kind of magic that inspires people
to change their whole ways of life and help.
MUNAWAR: I want to be as Jane Goodall, the second wonder woman in the world.
DR 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.
DR GOODALL: 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 can we all do that, if we care, if we believe?
Together we can, together we will save the world!
Thank you.
Thank you for being part of my hope for the future.
(applause)
(music)
That’s what keeps me going.
The audience makes a huge difference.
-Darling.
Thank you.
I deserve this, right?
WOMAN: Cheers.
MAN: Excellent.
DR GOODALL: Cheers. WOMAN: Cheers.
