A resolution honoring the extraordinary life, leadership, and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall.
SRES 483 is a ceremonial Senate resolution honoring Dr. Jane Goodall, who passed away on October 1, 2025. It pays tribute to her lifelong work as a primatologist, conservationist, and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots program, which engages youth globally in environmental action. The resolution recognizes her scientific contributions - including groundbreaking chimpanzee research at Gombe - and her advocacy for wildlife protection, education, and community-based conservation efforts like Tanzania's TACARE program. As a non-binding resolution, it does not enact policy changes but formally commemorates her legacy.
