more and more money, more and more stuff, doesn’t give life meaning or

JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE

About Us
Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute continues
Dr. Goodall’s pioneering research of chimpanzee behavior —
research which transformed scientific perceptions of the
relationship between humans and animals. Today, the Institute
is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their
habitats. It also is widely recognized for establishing innovative
community-centered conservation and development programs
in Africa, and the Roots & Shoots education program, which
has groups in more than 95 countries.

JGI Chimpanzee Work


JGI’s work on behalf of chimpanzees reflects the
interconnectedness of people, animals, and the environment.
It incorporates field research, which not only adds to our
knowledge of chimpanzees but informs conservation efforts.
It also includes biodiversity education and training, and
rehabilitation of chimpanzees orphaned by the commercial
bushmeat trade.

GOMBE NEWS:

The Sad Story


of Godot
Chimpanzee Gremlin’s unusual behavior is another
demonstration of how much more there is to learn
about chimpanzees.

Since 1960, when Jane Goodall first shared her


observations of chimpanzees making and using
tools, research at Gombe National Park in
Tanzania has often revealed surprising new
behaviors. Certainly, reports in the 1970s of
cannibalism and organized “warfare” among the
Gombe chimpanzees were disturbing and
unexpected. Last year, the Gombe researchers
surprised us yet again with the news that
Gremlin — that wonderfully skilled mother and
Jane’s favorite living chimpanzee — confiscated
her infant grandson.
Gremlin took the newborn Godot from her
daughter Gaia within 48 hours of his birth,
quickly treating him as her own, nursing, playing
with, and nesting with him. Gombe researchers
can only speculate about this unprecedented
behavior. Gremlin may have sought to protect
Godot from females who tried to seize her own

days of receiving antibiotics and other medicine, he
began to vocalize, play, and, most important, take a
bottle. “He began to act like a baby chimpanzee
should,” says Lisa. Because he had been so
dehydrated, the Tchimpounga caregivers decided to
name him “Kauka,” which means “dry” in the local
language, Monokotuba.

he just spat it out. But the staff was
determined to save this little life.

Today, Kauka thrives. He much prefers the


company of other chimpanzees to human caregivers,
as a chimpanzee should. His group includes infants
Lufino, Ulenge, Zimbanna, and an 8-year-old,
Vichika, who did not fit in well with older
chimpanzees but flourishes as a “mother” to the
infant group.
In the end, these other chimpanzees will be the
most important aspect of Kauka’s recovery. Having
an established social group is critical to the welfare of
any chimpanzee. For the orphans at Tchimpounga,
who have lost their entire families, this opportunity
to bond with other chimpanzees is perhaps the
greatest “gift” their loving and conscientious
caretakers can offer.

TACARE staff explained that they would support residents in
pooling savings to create a fund from which they would issue
loans to support sustainable small businesses and agriculture.
Gefruda and other Mukigo residents agreed to pool savings
towards a goal of $15 USD each (or about 17,000 Tanzanian
shillings), which would be matched by TACARE. The Mukigo
village bank was born.
With significant support from the US Agency for
International Development and JGI-Canada, TACARE
encourages microcredit in the region because lack of access to
capital is a huge challenge for the rural families here. The
creation of small businesses not only improves quality of life,
but helps promote sustainability by reducing slash-and-burn
farming and overreliance on already depleted natural resources.
The program also provides village microcredit groups with
training in accounting and administration.
With her loan of 50,000TSh, Gefruda bought tomatoes
wholesale. Within 12 months, she’d increased her income
twofold. With subsequent loans, she expanded her inventory
and now has a small shop from which she sells flour, sugar, and
clothes. Each of her three children old enough for secondary

HIV/AIDS Voluntary
Counseling and Testing
In villages around Gombe, JGI and partners bring
HIV/AIDS services to the people.

In the impoverished Kigoma region of


Western Tanzania, HIV/AIDS infection is of
growing concern. Much of the community lacks
awareness about how the disease is transmitted,
and there is a relatively low reliance on condoms
— the only means of prevention besides
abstinence. Many fishermen travel the coast of
Lake Tanganyika in pursuit of the sardine-like
fish known as dagaa; they spend weeks away
from home and, as a result, often put themselves
and, when they return, their wives at risk.
The terrifying stigma associated with the
disease in villages prevents people from seeking
testing and even treatment once ill. In addition,
many can’t spare the resources to travel to town
for testing. Explained Emmanuel Mtiti, head
of JGI’s Greater Gombe Ecosystem Program
(GGE), “What family can take their money
and, instead of buying school uniforms, use that
for testing?”
So Mtiti and his staff decided to bring
voluntary counseling and testing to the villages.
In partnership with the Kigoma Regional Hospital
and with support from the US President’s
Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, testing was
provided to individuals close to their homes, along
with counseling on critical topics such as disease
transmission, prevention, and living with HIV
and AIDS.
Those tested receive instant results, reducing
the anguish of waiting for news. If results are
positive, individuals receive immediate confidential
counseling and funds to travel to the local hospital
for further diagnosis and treatment. Project funding Given the problem of stigma, Mtiti expected a

Tanzania is rich in coastal and marine resources,


including coral reefs, mangrove forests, and a
large variety of fish species. But pollution and

dynamite and mining coral reefs for lime,
threaten its fragile coastal and marine ecosystems.

problems and inspire action on the part of
Tanzanian youth. The Environmental Education
(EE) Program is the first in Tanzania dedicated
to engaging youth in coastal conservation. It is
unique in another important aspect as well: It
engages both public school students and those
who attend madrassas (Islamic schools that offer
religious instruction based on the Holy Koran)

JANE GOODALL’S CIRCLE OF HOPE
One of the simplest ways to make a significant and
lasting gift to JGI is through a bequest in your will
or trust. Whether your gift is a specific amount, a
percentage, or the residue of your estate after all
other provisions are made for your family and
friends, your bequest will provide a vital source of
revenue to further JGI’s work in Africa and around
the world.

JGI would also benefit greatly by being made a


beneficiary of your life insurance, retirement
account, or Charitable Remainder Trust. In 2007,
we are establishing a Charitable Gift Annuity
Program, a wonderful way for JGI’s friends and
supporters to make a generous future gift to the
Institute while enjoying the security of investment
