ROME – World-renowned anthropologist Jane Goodall has joined her voice to the Vatican’s in calling for the defense of biodiversity, saying she has seen hopeful trends in global fight to protect the environment, one of which is Pope Francis.
Speaking during an April 20 Vatican-organized webinar on biodiversity, Goodall, 87, said that in her more than 60 years of work in the scientific field, “I’ve seen so much change.”
“One of my reasons for hope is Pope Francis,” the Englishwoman said, because in his position as pope, “with the whole of the Catholic Church around the world, his stand on the environment really has made a big difference.”
“The other reason for hope is that the other religions too are beginning to talk about the environment more and more,” she said.
“So, this really is one of the big hopes for our future, and that more and more scientists – I never thought I’d live to see this day – but the scientists are coming together to agree that there is intelligence, with a capital ‘I,’ behind the creation of the universe,” she said.
Founder and doctor at The Jane Goodall Institute, she first rose to fame for her groundbreaking research in the world of chimpanzees. She traveled to Tanzania in 1960 at the age of 26 to live amongst them and learn about the species up close.
Her discovery in 1960 that chimps make and use tools is still considered one of the greatest achievements in 20th century scholarship. Her field research has transformed not only the scientific community’s understanding of chimps, but it has redefined the human-animal relationship throughout the world.

I thought she got chopped up by mostly peaceful black poachers?
Stick to chimps,Sweetie....we all know of the contempt you have for Christianity.
Jane has gone Coo-Coo for Cocoa Puffs.

If antipope francis is a reason for hope in the future,

“Hope” is a empty vessel. These environment crusaders are being used by socialists. The globalists environmentalists have shown very little to actually make things better but they love to be heard and spend other people’s money.
She’s gone total Minkey.
Jane dear, in matters of faith the pope is infalable. In everything else his guess is as good as mine or worse.
Point to Team Fossey, though she was also a repulsive Leftist.
I knew that, I just wanted to conjure up the image of her being chopped up by mostly peaceful black poachers because it’s what she deserves.
It will fail - but they think they know what they’re doing
Why are you bringing W into this thread?
I guess there are 87 year old dumbasses that will never see the light.
A delusional old ding bat speaks...
Monkey logic.
