About Us

Mission

The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) Australia is involved in global and local environmental, conservation and humanitarian action.

             

               We support programs in wildlife research, education and community centred conservation.

 

JGI promotes informed and compassionate action to improve the environment shared by all of Earth's

living creatures.

 

Objectives

 

1) Foster public understanding of the interconnected nature of the human, animal and ecological community.

 

2) Inspire and engage Australians to take action in local and global environmental and humanitarian projects.

 

3) Increase public awareness of the plight of endangered animals in Australia. We believe education inspires understanding and compassion.

 

4) Increase support for habitat and species conservation, particularly for wild chimpanzees and other Great Apes.

 
5) Promote activities that will help to facilitate the health and general well-being of wild and captive chimpanzees.

 
6) Provide training and support that will enable environmental and humanitarian action.

 

7) Provide an excellent educational environmental program through our educational program, Roots & Shoots. There is a particular emphasis on Aboriginal schools throughout Australia.
