A Remembrance by Doug Draper

Posted December 31st. 2025 on Niagara At Large

Going back to the very first Earth Day in 1970 and even before, few people have done as much to teach us about how vital it is for we humans to live in harmony with the natural world around us than Jane Goodall.

We saw the passing of a lot of significant others in 2025, from long-time public servant Jim Bradley in our own Niagara region to legendary musicians and actors like Brian Wilson and Robert Redford.

But on the environmental front, the loss of primatologist and environmental activist Jane Goodall this past September 2025 is immeasurable at a time on this planet when we have the loss of biodiversity  species and climate catastrophes threatening our own survival,

Even at the age 0f 91, Jane Goodall continued to travel from region to region around the world, talking to people of all ages about the need to do all we can as individuals to protect and preserve all that is natural on this one and only oasis in the universe that we have to live on.

Here she is, doing an interview somewhere in the U.S.A. with a reporter from The Wall Street Journal just days before she died.

A Brief Footnote from Doug Draper – The best way we can pay tribute to Jane Goodall, is to do everything we can, in our own individual way, to make this earth healthier for every being living on it.
