You can make a difference.

70% of people living in poverty around the world are women, and many of them depend heavily on natural resources for their livelihoods – resources which are being wiped out by climate change.

Through our Femmes en Action project in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, thousands of women and girls can get the resources they need to become more resilient to climate change through activities like establishing tree nurseries.

You can join us by supporting programs like Femmes en Action today!

With hope, action, and support from generous people like you, real change is possible. From Jane and all of us at the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada: Thank you for being our partner in conservation.

Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute is a worldwide organization that advances the vision and work of Dr. Jane Goodall in more than 30 countries. It aims to understand chimpanzees and other wildlife and their habitats, and to empower people to be compassionate citizens dedicated to a more sustainable planet.

The Canadian chapter, the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, brings this work home and supports it abroad.

Inspired by our founder’s legacy of inspiring hope through action, we use community-centred conservation to mobilize action on the convergence of three crises – biodiversity loss, climate change, and environmental inequity – in Canada and in “Chimpscape” regions of Africa.
