The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology and the School of Anthropology and Conservation were delighted to present Dame Jane Goodall DBE as the special guest speaker for the 2020 DICE Lecture. Her presentation was entitled ‘Gombe and beyond: Chimpanzees, conservation and change.’<\/p>\n

The talk addressed her early research at Gombe in eastern Tanzania which began in 1960, and the Jane Goodall Institute\u2019s programmes that have evolved over 60 years.<\/p>\n

Dr Goodall also talked about her Roots & Shoots<\/a> programme, which empowers young people of all ages in more than 50 countries to become involved in hands-on programmes to benefit the community, animals (including domestic animals) and the environment we all share.<\/p>\n

The event raised funds for the Jane Goodall Institute UK<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0DICE MSc Scholarship Fund,\u00a0<\/a>and all the ticket proceeds went towards helping support conservation work around the world.<\/p>\n

The talk took place on the University’s Canterbury campus on February 25th, 2020. A write-up of the evening can be read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
