Jane’s good friend, Capt Paul Watson, who writes in this issue, said of her “Jane Goodall left us with a poignant message of resistance and hope. Her work continued to the very day of her death and her message will live on for centuries. She is deeply missed but will never be forgotten.”
Her final message to the world is here.
Magnificent words, a message of hope and deep empowerment for generations to come, prescient of her own end, which came six months after this recording. She says: “I want to make sure that you all understand that each and every one of you has a role to play. You may not know it, you may not find it, but your life matters and you are here for a reason. Don’t give up. There is a future for you.”
Below, Capt Watson shares Jane’s personal letter to him supporting his work and celebrating his release from jail in January this year. This hand-written letter was typical of Jane’s compassion, courage and creativity, even in the end suggesting books be written for children to highlight the plight of our natural world and bring awareness to the whole of Asia and beyond regarding wildlife trafficking and misuse of animals.
