Our heartfelt thanks to Chris Lewis for sponsoring this day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and cows in honor of Dr. Jane Goodall:
“Thank you Dr. Goodall for all you did for chimps around the world.”
Our deeply saddened hearts join those the world over in mourning the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall. Thank you so much, Chris, for thinking of the sanctuary residents in honoring her extraordinary life and legacy she shared with us all.
Negra (above), Annie, and Jody were all born in Africa before being captured as infants and shipped to the US for use in biomedical research. Just imagine if they’d been able to live the lives they were meant to with their families in the wild.

I mentioned a while back the docuseries about the TChimpounga Sanctuary that Jane Goodall founded over 30 years ago. There are two seasons, about 11 episodes. It’s wonderful. We all know about Wunda, the chimpanzee that gave Jane Goodall that long hug. This documentary shows when Wunda first arrived at the sanctuary and needed a blood transfusion. But the best part is what happened to Wunda after she was released in that famous Jane Goodall video. I encourage you to watch it. It’s free on Tubi or you can watch it on CuriosityStream. “The Rescued Chimpanzees of the Congo” with Jane Goodall.
Ty, Paulette.
And ty, Chris, forvsponsoring our favorite chimpy people.
Thank you Chris!
Why no pic of Jane Goodall?
Thank you, Chris! And thank you, Jane…..:black_heart::black_heart::black_heart:
“Tikkun olam.” That translates from Hebrew into English as “To heal and renew the world.” That was Jane Goodall’s life and mission. May her memory always be a blessing, and an inspiration.
I am not one to follow famous or “celebrity” lives, but I always checked in with the Jane Goodall Foundation and watched or read posts, interviews, or presentations by Jane. Simply put, she is hope. Even now. Thank you for sponsoring the CSNW family in honor of Dr. Jane Goodall.
If anyone is interested, Netflix has a new interview series called “Famous Last Words” and the debut interview is with Jane Goodall. As Netflix describes it :
Dr. Jane Goodall connected humanity and nature in unprecedented ways. In this deeply personal interview, she shares her final message with the world.
Thankyou, Katelyn, for the gorgeous photos and thanks, Chris for sponsoring and honouring our beloved sanctuary and the life of the beautiful and passionate Jane Goodall. I still can’t believe she has passed as she seemed so indomitable. I was fortunate to meet Jane many times when she visited Australia and she always made an indelible impression on all of us with the message that each one if us can make a difference to our world. She was a legend and will always be remembered as one of the most inspirational women on the planet.
I shed a tear at Dr. Goodall’s passing- very unusual. One of my first thoughts was that she visited CSNW, which made me so proud. Wish I had enough to have sponsored a day in her memory, but I did make a small donation in her honor. So envy those of you who met her.
That’s lovely of you, Mo, and I didn’t mean to boast about my meetings with Jane Goodall. I guess I was in the right places at the right times. One of those times was when I visited Taronga Zoo here in Sydney during one of Jane’s visits to JGI Australia. I was watching the chimpanzees in their habitat, turned around and there Jane was with some of the zoo staff on a private visit.I was honestly speechless! Thankfully we mostly kept our distance giving het space and snd she was so gracious. A magical day indeed.
FYI the National Geographic channel is showing two movies tonight about Jane Goodall.
Thank you Chris for the sponsorship, and Katelyn for the beautiful set of photos.
I first met Jane at one of her early talks in London and was fortunate to have a good long chat with her afterwards. Then, I saw her whenever she came over to the UK. She was an absolutely amazing woman, calm, always upbeat with her messages of hope for the planet, but with a fierce fighting spirit for those who are destroying our natural world. It’s clear from the sheer numbers of individuals and organisations paying tribute to her, just how special she was. And it’s thanks to Jane that sanctuaries like CSNW and such wonderful people who care for all rescued chimps are now doing such great work. The whole world will miss her greatly.
