In this brief message, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace highlights the key challenges humanity is facing in the current moment and ends with a call “So, let's get together. Let's take heed of the Earth Charter, with all its wisdom, and let's bring everyone together to work on this much better, greener, brighter future.”
In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute, which develops innovative, community-centered conservation and development programmes in Africa, and the Roots & Shoots education programme. Roots & Shoots implements positive change through “knowledge, compassion, and action”. According to what they wrote in 2005, “In keeping with the Earth Charter’s mission, Roots & Shoots groups are working to improve things for the environment, animals, and their own communities through acts of compassion and understanding.” See at: [ Ссылка ]
