About the charity

The Jane Goodall Institute runs several sanctuaries in Africa for orphan chimpanzees, victims of habitat destruction and the bushmeat trade. Through our global education programme, 'Roots & Shoots', young people are encouraged to take positive action to secure the continued survival of the planet. In Africa, we provide training in sustainable land use, tree nurseries, primary healthcare, family planning, AIDS education, water projects, scholarships for girls and micro-credit schemes for women.
