In July 1960, Jane Goodall arrived in Gombe, Tanzania, to study wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries, including that chimpanzees make and use tools, profoundly changed science and redefined what it means to be human.

Recognizing threats to chimpanzees, Jane shifted her focus to advocacy. She launched JGI's community-led Tacare conservation approach, championed animal welfare—including opening JGI's Tchimpounga sanctuary—and traveled globally to spread her message of hope.

Jane's legacy includes the Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots youth program, empowering young people in over 75 countries. Join us on April 3rd to celebrate Jane and uphold her vital work for people, other animals, and our shared planet.

Palestinian youth, especially young women, face alarmingly high unemployment and poverty. Limited job opportunities and a mismatch between education and labor market needs hinder access to decent work, impacting purchasing power and food security.

The FAO, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and funded by Denmark, is tackling this by promoting sustainable "green" jobs in the agrifood sector. The project strengthens youth skills, supports green enterprises, and engages various partners to empower young women and men in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This fosters decent employment, builds resilience, and contributes to a sustainable agrifood system.
