Wow! This morning I lucked into a National Public Radio one hour interview with Doctor Dame Jane Goodall, the "English UN Messenger of Peace, primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist...well-known for her 45-year study of chimpanzee social and family interactions in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, and for founding the Jane Goodall Institute." (Wikipedia) The conversation was fascinating...what a beautiful, gracious, and caring lady. She talked about how others is remote unknown parts of the world were beginning to recognize the need to conserve. She described how, in one barren remote part of the world a one of a kind female bird, wanting to mate, found a male who happened to be sterile and she left him for a younger fertile mate. Isn’t that amazing? If I remember correctly, there are no at least 12 bird pairs spreading through that particular area. You can find out more about her at janegoodall.org.
