From the Daily Mail: World renowned primatologist Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91 during her tour of the US.
The legendary conservationist died of natural causes while staying in California, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed in a post on Facebook on Wednesday.
‘The Jane Goodall Institute learned this morning, Wednesday 1 October 2025, that Dr Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away from natural causes,’ the post read.
‘She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.
‘Dr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist transformed science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of the natural world.’
Goodall was born in London in 1934, and is widely known for her groundbreaking work with Chimpanzees.
Goodall just posted the following video message on September 22:

Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree.
It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind.

Jane Goodall has died at 91.
Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://t.co/axM4A5nkhh pic.twitter.com/vgsNfFZhRS
