ROME – World-renowned anthropologist Jane Goodall has joined her voice to the Vatican’s in calling for the defense of biodiversity, saying she has seen hopeful trends in global fight to protect the environment, one of which is Pope Francis.
Speaking during an April 20 Vatican-organized webinar on biodiversity, Goodall, 87, said that in her more than 60 years of work in the scientific field, “I’ve seen so much change.”
“One of my reasons for hope is Pope Francis,” the Englishwoman said, because in his position as pope, “with the whole of the Catholic Church around the world, his stand on the environment really has made a big difference.”
“The other reason for hope is that the other religions too are beginning to talk about the environment more and more,” she said.
“So, this really is one of the big hopes for our future, and that more and more scientists – I never thought I’d live to see this day – but the scientists are coming together to agree that there is intelligence, with a capital ‘I,’ behind the creation of the universe,” she said.
Founder and doctor at The Jane Goodall Institute, she first rose to fame for her groundbreaking research in the world of chimpanzees. She traveled to Tanzania in 1960 at the age of 26 to live amongst them and learn about the species up close.
Her discovery in 1960 that chimps make and use tools is still considered one of the greatest achievements in 20th century scholarship. Her field research has transformed not only the scientific community’s understanding of chimps, but it has redefined the human-animal relationship throughout the world.

Francis has proven hes not infallible where matters of faith are concerned. Hes proven hes a heretic.
She’d make a monkey out of him.
Not all primates are bishops but all bishops are primates.
Even the apes were sick of her.
...or perhaps only some bishops are primates. I can’t remember.
Papal infallibity is a negative charism rather than a positive one. It does not mean that everything the Pope says or teaches is an infallible statement, rather, the charism prevents him from teaching error under several strict conditions all of which must be present:
1. That he is speaking as the head of the Catholic Church to the entire Church.
2. That he is making an infallible pronouncement binding on all Catholics.
3. That it is a matter of faith and morals.
If even one of these conditions are not met it is not an infallible teaching. Otherwise, if the Pope’s teaching is in line with Scripture and established Church teaching, well and good. If he does not, he is wrong and possibly a heretic. A great many things this Pope says, unfortunately, are just his very kooky opinion that has nothing to do with faith or morals..Fortunately he can’t permanently change Church teaching and his disastrous papacy will eventually pass into history, and the Church will live on. We have Christ’s promise on it.
look dont use so many words
he’s a heretic
hes an antipope
in six words, you get what i am saying and where i’m coming from
Sorry to confuse you with the facts. I’ll not make the same mistake twice.
Go back to your Chimps Jane. They make better sense than this Pope.
its not confusing
sometimes less is more, that’s all
take it easy
Shes hoping to see the day when the first Ape Pope comes to the chair.
I thank her for her work with Chimps but I disagree with her. She sounds brainwashed.
She’s making a monkey out of herself, spewing her cultish nonsense and folderol.
she’s still around? She was like 90 years old 50 years ago
LOL
Hasn’t she ... like...died of old age or something?
No, that was Lt. Ripley.
