GOMBE RESEARCH AND SUPPORT
JANE GOODALL'S WORK—begun at Gombe fifty years ago—has influenced and inspired hundreds of people and still touches the lives of millions as she continues to give lectures and attend conferences worldwide.
Jane and the Gombe research inspired generations of scientists, many of them women, to work in science and conservation and at universities around the globe.
A huge body of work from Jane and other scientists and field staff has come out of Gombe. The estimated numbers of publications, papers, and films inspired by this work are impressive:
200 scientific papers
41 Ph.D. theses relating to chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, and ecology (of these students nineteen were women)
16 major films by renowned companies, such as Discovery/ Animal Planet, National Geographic, BBC, HBO, and PBS; a large screen format film seen in 83 countries by over three million people; and a film for worldwide cinematic distribution launched for the fiftieth anniversary of Jane's research at Gombe. Film teams from Japan, France, Germany, Austria, France, and Hungary have also made films about Jane and Gombe.
Hundreds of articles
38 books, of which Jane Goodall published 14 (not to mention the 8 children's books she also authored). Many of these books have been translated into foreign languages, including In the Shadow of Man, which has been translated into 52 languages.
Contributors
The following are some of the people who contributed to the collection of data and the administration at the Gombe Stream Research Centre. A full list of contributors will be made available on the Jane Goodall Institute website in 2010.
Four people stand out (in addition to Jane Goodall) for their very major contributions:
HUGO VAN LAWICK, photographer and filmmaker, was able to document, for the first time, much of the behavior of the Gombe chimpanzees and baboons. It was his material, distributed through National Geographic documentaries and magazine articles, that validated Jane Goodall's observations (she had no university degree at the time), and he played a major role in establishing the research station.
DEREK BRYCESON, as Director of National Parks, was able to help Jane maintain the research after the 1975 kidnapping incident made it impossible for several years for foreign students to work at Gombe.
ANNE PUSEY took on the task of computerizing all the data from 1960 to the present, working, with her students at Minnesota (and now Duke), to create a unique database of Gombe chimpanzee behavior.
ANTHONY COLLINS not only has conducted and directed baboon research at Gombe since 1972, but also has played an extraordinarily important role in maintaining good relations with the central and local government officers, linking field staff and visiting researchers, representing Gombe to the local community and throughout Tanzania, and maintaining continuity within the Research Centre.

ABOUT THE JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE
Mission
The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) advances the power of individuals to improve the environment for all living things.
While continuing Dr. Jane Goodall's efforts to study and protect chimpanzees, JGI has also become a leader in innovative conservation approaches that better the lives of local people. In addition, the Institute's global youth program, Roots & Shoots, inspires young people of all ages to become environmental and humanitarian leaders.
Dwindling Forests and Chimpanzee Populations
We stand on the threshold of a future without chimpanzees and other great apes in the wild. Where chimpanzees once numbered perhaps one million at the turn of the twentieth century, today there are fewer than 300,000 remaining in the wild. A key factor is destruction of habitat—Africa loses more than 10 million acres of forest every year, twice the world's deforestation rate (Source: UNEP). Meanwhile population growth in Africa is faster than anywhere else, with accompanying poverty and lack of basic necessities.
Meeting the Challenge
JGI's approach to conservation represents a philosophy thoughtfully developed by Dr. Goodall to help ensure success. In addition to traditional conservation tools, JGI addresses the needs of human populations in and around forest habitat—the only way to long-lasting, systemic change. Engaging youth of all ages around the world is also a critical part of JGI's comprehensive approach to conservation.
Today, there are more than twenty-five JGIs around the world committed to supporting Dr. Goodall's vision and mission.
