Organization Overview

Founded in 1977, the Jane Goodall Institute JGI USA is an international non-
governmental organization that continues Dr. Goodall’s pioneering work on
chimpanzee ecology and behavior. Its mission is to promote wildlife
conservation, in particular chimpanzee sustainability, through research,
education, and community conservation. The breadth of JGI’s mission reflects
Dr. Goodall’s personal philosophy that the survival of all species, whether
chimpanzee or human, depends upon the collaboration of all people. In 2012,
JGI formally adopted an ambitious 30-year goal to protect 85% of Africa’s wild
chimpanzee populations in their natural habitats. In reaching this goal, JGI
will capitalize on its considerable strengths and experience gained from
working throughout the chimpanzee range, which includes more than 50 years of
chimpanzee behavioral research at the Gombe Stream Research Center; its 20
years of developing people- and community-centered conservation strategies;
its impressive expertise in the use geospatial technology to innovatively map
and monitor human and chimpanzee use of forest resources; and its global
environmental and humanitarian youth program – Roots & Shoots.

Under its Department of Africa Programs AP, JGI USA implements community-
based conservation activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of
Congo, Tanzania, and Uganda. Our Africa Programs partners include but are not
limited to the United States Agency for International Development USAID,
Disney Foundation, Arcus Family Foundation, Allen Family Foundation, US Fish
and Wildlife Services USFWS, the Turner Foundation, and a strong individual
donor base.
