Jane may be the most perfect person in my heart

Watched the documentary yesterday at Dr Jane Goodall's meetup. The opportunity is rare, so I want to record some interesting interactions and answers outside the film.

Presented by Roots and Shoots at the U.S. Embassy

1. Jane's motivation to travel around the world is to speak for animals and bring the story of chimpanzees to the world. Chimpanzees also have emotions and use tools. Humans' previous understanding of animals was incorrect.

2. Jane believes that empathy is important in scientific research, and science has temperature. Many professors think that her research method is wrong, that chimpanzees should not be named, and that there is no human emotion, but the professor is wrong. We live with animals and understand that they also have thoughts and feelings.

3. Jane is a vegetarian. This is a point I am very interested in. She said that vegetarian animals have long intestines and slow digestion. The human gut grows lighter and can even live longer. She's been a vegetarian for thirty or forty years and is still full of energy, so she doesn't think vegetarianism is bad.

4. For ordinary people who want to go to Africa (this is a question asked by a little girl), Jane's answer is that her mother said: If you really want to go, you have to try to seize the opportunity and don't give up. Here's her advice, too: keep an open mind and don't give up.

5. There is no doubt that humanity is facing its sixth extinction. Some say global warming is irreversible and it is too late. But Jane thinks that as long as each of us starts to take action, do a little bit every day: to influence the government, business, reject environmentally unfriendly products, go green... or plant trees with the Roots and Shoots team to help solve ocean pollution, plastic pollution, etc. "I saw a lot of young Chinese in the past three days. They looked at me with expectant eyes. They gave me a lot of hope. China is a country with advanced technology. We must use our wisdom to get along with nature. Nature is very resilient. We can't give up either."

6. Jane gave a positive answer to what the future of the earth will look like, whether humans and animals live in harmony, or interfere with each other and destroy each other. We can live in harmony with most animals. Children need nature, we need national parks and reserves, but they should not be isolated, they should be part of the whole environment.

She also mentioned that raising animals consumes resources and produces a lot of methane gas. In particular, she suggested that we all go to the video of pigasso.

    Happy 86th birthday to Dr. Jane?! ! ! I saw a part of this film at the Goodall meeting at the US Embassy last November. Maybe I have seen it before, so let’s re-watch it carefully as soon as possible! Eternal spiritual leader, endless source of action, can't imagine a world without the old lady, must be healthy!

    I watched it on the high-speed train to Guiyang. It's good to have a dream and put it into practice. Hope I can meet like-minded people

Jane quotes

  • Jane Goodall: It was probably mostly frustrating because they kept running away. And while chimpanzees are running away from you, you can't really get down to the details of their behavior and in the back of my mind it was always the fear if I don't find out something exciting, the money will run out cause all my earlier observations were either chimps close up running away or sitting on the peak or some other spot and watching them through binoculars.

  • Jane Goodall: The more I learned, the more I realized how like us they were in so many ways.
