Jane Goodall with her dog Rusty in Bournemouth, 1954. She said "I learned so much from Rusty. He proved to me that animals have minds, personalities and feelings. This gave me great strength in my convictions and work with Chimpanzees."

The messages, the memories, the love you’ve shared... we’ve felt every single one. Thank you. Yesterday, we lost someone irreplaceable, and your support has reminded us that Jane’s spirit lives on in each of you.

This is where it all began. Here, in the UK - a young woman dared to dream differently, to see the world through eyes of compassion and hope. That dream became a movement, and that movement became all of us.

Today, perhaps more than ever, we need her message. We need to remember that every individual matters, that every action counts, and that there is always reason for hope.

Jane’s legacy isn’t something we preserve in memory alone, it’s something we live, every day. It’s in the choices we make, the kindness we show, and the world we fight to protect.

If you’re looking for ways to keep her work alive here in the UK, through fundraising, spreading her message of hope, or simply doing good in your community, know that every act of kindness continues her mission. You can support the programmes she held so dear, and more importantly, live her values.

Be curious. Be compassionate. Be the change. Jane believed in us. Now, we carry her forward.

With gratitude and hope, The JGI UK family 🌿
