Jane Goodall's work with wild Chimpanzees in Africa is well known. But in a recent interview with Bill Moyers, she explained that now she is traveling the world to speak to people about our role in taking care of the globe's environment. She has spoken with people in 14 different countries urging them to work to reverse our trend toward global desecration.
According to Dr. Goodall, the earth has been through Five Periods of Extinction and unless we change our habits, we are on the verge of another such period. While others, like Charlton Heston, feel there is no reason for concern. Before his death, Heston said, "This old earth has been around for a long time and survived," dismissing all findings and information in a cavalier way.
Maybe Heston could part the Red Sea, but if there's any chance that our species along with creatures and habitat will survive, it will be because of the inspiration and knowledge Jane Goodall provides.
