Legacy

Over 60 years ago, a young woman stepped out of a boat onto a pebbly beach at Gombe – and into history. Dr. Jane Goodall dedicated her life to environmental advocacy. Her legacy is a global movement that continues to inspire hundreds of thousands of people to advocate and take action for a better future. By leaving a donation in your will, you can ensure your own legacy is one of hope. You can take pride in knowing you’ve helped make the world a better place for your loved ones and generations yet to come.

By making a donation in your will to JGI Belgium, your legacy will be:

• The future of rescued chimpanzees living in the Jane Goodall Institute’s Chimp Eden sanctuary and the wild chimpanzees in the Dindéfelo community nature reserve
• The continued fight to put an end to the illegal wildlife trade
• Community-centred conservation that improves the lives of local people in Africa and right here in Belgium, all while protecting biodiversity and saving wildlife
• Empowering the young Belgians – the next generation of conservation leaders in Belgium – through Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots programme and reforestation projects
• Generosity and hope for your loved ones and generations to come

Inspired by Jane’s message of hope through action, it is more crucial than ever to remember that we have the choice to use the gift of life to make the world a better place.

She blazed the trail. The next steps are up to us. 
The Jane Goodall Institute will remain steadfast in our commitment to Jane’s vision of a healthy planet where people make compassionate choices to live sustainably, and in harmony with each other, other animals, and the environment we share. A donation to the Jane Goodall Institute will help us continue her vital work.
