Born: 1934
When Jane was a little girl, she loved climbing trees and reading books. She
dreamed that she could go to Africa and see the wild animals there.
So Jane flew to Tanzania determined to study chimpanzees in their natural
habitat. When she first arrived, none of the chimpanzees would let her get
near them. They would always run away at first sight.
Jane kept coming back until they let her come closer. However, Jane wanted to
become friends with the chimpanzees.
So she started the "banana club" which meant that she would share bananas with
them every time she visited the chimpanzees.
She discovered that chimpanzees have rituals, that they use tools, that their
language comprises at least twenty sounds and that they are not vegetarians.
Once she rescued an injured chimpanzee and nursed it back to health. When she
released it back into the wild, the chimpanzee turned around and hugged her as
if to say, "thank you and goodbye".
I hope her story inspires you to give a helping hand to nature.
Bye
