About JGI
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 community based conservation, research, and public awareness. 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 Africa's wild chimpanzee populations across the range of 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; nearly three decades of developing people and community-centered conservation strategies; expertise in 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) and its 10 YearAP Strategy, J G I USA implements community-based conservation activities through field offices in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Uganda. Under the 10 Year Strategy, it will expand its reach to directly support conservation programs in Gabon, Guinea, Burundi, Cameroon, Liberia, and Senegal. Our Africa Programs partners include but are not limited to the United States Agency for International Development (U SAID), Disney Foundation, Arcus Family Foundation, US Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS), the Turner Foundation, the JP Fletcher Foundation, and a strong individual donor base.
