The world woke up to heartbreaking news: Jane Goodall, the legendary conservationist and tireless advocate for nature, has died at the age of 91. Her passing marks the end of an era in science, animal welfare, and environmental activism.
According to her institute, Goodall died of natural causes in Los Angeles while on a speaking tour, still working until her very last days. Even at 91, she remained unstoppable, inspiring thousands with her passion for protecting the Earth.
Born in England, Goodall grew up with a love for animals that defined her entire life. Her father gifted her a stuffed chimpanzee named Jubilee as a child, a symbolic companion she cherished until her death. That little toy foreshadowed the groundbreaking career that would come.
