Connexions Calendar

Jane Goodall at VanDusen Botanical Garden


March 21, 2016


Only 100 tickets are available for an intimate evening and talk with world-renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall. Dr. Goodall first set foot in the forests of Tanzania in 1960, armed with little more than a notepad, a pair of binoculars and a dream of living in Africa and observing wildlife. From the moment she witnessed a chimpanzee make a tool to the moment she decided to leave the park in order to save the chimpanzees she cared for, Dr. Goodall will describe her extraordinary scientific breakthroughs in animal behaviour and her journey to becoming one of the world's most prominent and active conservationists.Dr. Goodall's talks never fail to inspire people of all ages, from all walks of life, as she recounts her unique experiences as a young woman working alone in the rainforest and her hope for the future through her dedication to youth-led action for sustainable change.Tickets include a signed copy of 50 years at Gombe. All proceeds support the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada's conservation, humanitarian and youth engagement programs.
