World-leading primatologist Jane Goodall has spent decades at the forefront of conservation. Now aged 88, she shows no signs of slowing down.

Countries that embrace positive environmental policies fuel her optimism. China, Goodall says, is a prime example. One of China’s biggest victories, Goodall says, is in poverty alleviation. In 2020, President Xi Jinping declared victory in the country’s fight against poverty, saying almost 100 million people had been lifted out of extreme material deprivation after eight years of struggle.

The future is in the hands of today’s young people, she says, which is the reason she devotes so much time to Roots & Shoots, a youth-led initiative run by the Jane Goodall Institute.
