2. Campbell Whalley
With great sadness, we wish to inform you that our dear friend and Roots & Shoots advocate, Campbell Whalley, passed away on May 24. Campbell’s friendship with Jane Goodall began more than 50 years ago when Jane first moved to Africa. Campbell was a game warden in Tanzania at the time and taught Jane much about the African bush, cultures and people. More recently, Campbell championed our Roots & Shoots program by driving the program in the Marree School in South Australia.
We will miss Campbell and send our love to his wife Judy and family.
