Truly a life-changing experience to spend an evening with Jane Goodall. I have always been an admirer of Jane and remember reading articles about her work and efforts with chimpanzees when I was a kid. She was a true inspiration to me personally within my own work.

Jane dedicated her life to preserving and protecting wild places while educating cultures worldwide. She had a very special presence about her that truly made you feel at peace. To be in her presence, engaged in conversation, was an empowering and emotional blessing.

We spent several days filming throughout the Tetons, connecting with others who share the same passion for wildlife and conservation.

Our evening with Jane and friends in the breathtaking Teton Mountains of Wyoming could not have been better. Having one-on-one time with Jane—listening to her share stories of her early days in Africa and recounting those moments by the campfire—are memories we will carry with us for life.

Jane traveled the world educating people on the importance of conserving our natural resources. Her dedication was nothing short of admirable. The Jane Goodall Institute continues making a profound impact by educating both young and old. Her message and work remain timeless, and I encourage everyone to get involved and continue supporting conservation efforts around the world.

With the unfortunate passing of Dr. Jane Goodall on October 1, 2025, the world lost one of its greatest voices for wildlife, conservation, and compassion. She passed away peacefully of natural causes while on a speaking tour in California at the age of 91. Her discoveries, dedication, and lifelong mission to protect wildlife and inspire future generations will continue to impact the world for decades to come. 

Thank you, Jane. Your impact on this world will never be forgotten.
