In the wake of Jane Goodall's death, the many scientists and others influenced by her are promising to do their best to carry on her legacy. In her 91 years, Goodall transformed science and humanity’s understanding of our closest living relatives on the planet — chimpanzees and other great apes. In addition to her famed research center in Tanzania and chimpanzee sanctuaries in other countries, a new cultural center is expected to open in Tanzania late next year. There also are Jane Goodall Institutes in 26 countries, as well as the institute’s youth-led education program called Roots & Shoots in dozens of countries.
