Jane Goodall honored for fusion of science and spirituality
By DAVID CRARY
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jane
Goodall, the conserva-
tionist renowned for her
expertise on chimpan-
zees and her globe-span-
ning advocacy of environ-
mental causes, was named
Thursday, May 20, as this
year’s winner of the pres-
tigious Templeton Prize,
honoring individuals
whose life’s work embodies
a fusion of science and
spirituality.
Goodall, born in London
in 1934, traveled to Kenya
in 1957 and met the famed
anthropologist and paleon-
tologist Louis Leakey. In
1960, at his invitation, she
began her groundbreaking
study of chimpanzees in
what is now Tanzania.
Her fi eld research revo-
lutionized the fi eld of pri-
matology, helping trans-
form how scientists and
the public perceive the
emotional and social com-
plexity of animals. She
was the fi rst to observe
that chimpanzees engage
in activities previously
believed to be exclusive to
humans, such as creating
tools, and she demonstrated
that they have individual
personalities.
“Her discoveries have
profoundly altered the
world’s view of animal
intelligence and enriched
our understanding of
humanity in a way that
is both humbling and
exalting,” said Heather
Templeton Dill, presi-
dent of the John Templeton
Foundation, which helps
administers the prize.
Established in 1972 by
the late philanthropist Sir
John Templeton, the Tem-
pleton Prize is one of the
world’s largest individual

Last year’s honoree
was Dr. Francis Collins,
director of the National
Institutes of Health in the
United States and leader
of the Human Genome
Project.
Goodall, in an inter-
view with The Associ-
ated Press ahead of the
award’s announcement,
recalled how her work with
the chimpanzees led to a
broader appreciation for
nature as she spent hours
by herself in the forest.
“Out there in nature by
myself, when you’re alone,
you can become part of
nature and your humanity
doesn’t get in the way,”
she said. “It’s almost like

ences worldwide about
nature, conservation and
the potential for collec-
tive action to bring about
change. The coronavirus
pandemic halted those
travels, but she has con-
tinued to have a strong
infl uence through virtual
participation in events and
lectures involving thou-
sands of people in scores of
countries.
She launched a pod-
cast from her childhood
home in England and, at
age 87, is reaching millions
of people through social
media.
Raised as a Christian,
Goodall said she devel-
oped her own sense of
spirituality in the for-
ests of Tanzania — in
essence, believing that all
living things and the nat-
ural world are connected
through a divine force.
She recalled her mother
saying to her, when she
was a girl, “You will be
brought up in a Chris-
tian family, so you wor-
ship God. But you might
have been born in Egypt
and then you would wor-
ship Allah, or you might
have been born in a Bud-
dhist country or one with a
Hindu religion.”
“And she said there can
only be one God,” Goodall
said, “and so the name that
we call him or her or it
really doesn’t matter.”
As much as she respects
science, she prefers it to
have some limits.
“The world is so full
of magic and surprises,”
she said. “I like to keep
an open mind, and I like
to think of magic. I don’t
want us to fi nd out all the
answers. ... One day we
will learn the answers, but
not on this planet.”

when suddenly you hear
diff erent sounds and you
smell diff erent smells and
you’re actually part of this
amazing tapestry of life.”
“Every time a little
species vanishes, it may
not seem important,” she
added. “But the thread is
pulled from that tapestry
and the picture gets weaker
as more threads are pulled,
until that tapestry, once
so beautiful, is hanging in
tatters.”
As her fame grew,
she expanded into a
diverse range of activities,
including humanitarian ini-
tiatives and advocacy for
the ethical treatment of
animals.
She founded the Jane
Goodall Institute in 1977
to sustain the study and
protection of chimpan-
zees while also improving
the welfare of scores of
local communities. In
1991 she founded Roots &
Shoots, an environmental
and humanitarian program
whose hands-on projects
have benefi ted communi-
ties, animals and the envi-
ronment in more than 65
countries.
“Some people seem to
believe that we can live
separated from nature, but
we can’t,” Goodall said.
“We’re animals, too,
you know, by defi nition.
... We just happen to have
(less) hair and have had an
explosive development of
our intellect. But we seem
to fail when it comes to
wisdom — the wisdom that
says, ‘The decision I make
now, how will that aff ect
future generations or the
health of the planet?’”
In recent decades,
Goodall has averaged more
than 300 days of travel
each year, educating audi-
