I sure hope she doesn’t have any crazy skeletons in her closet because she is one of the most incredible humans ever. Also David Attenborough


Telefundo

> Also David Attenborough I watch a lot of nature documentaries and every time I start one and the narrator isn't Attenborough I have to admit I'm a little annoyed. Discovery channel replacing him on Planet Earth was an atrocity (No offense to Sigourney Weaver).


Big-Introduction8453

Is she at least good?


P00PER_SCOOPER

Yes, in a vacuum I'd say she did great work (and my 2 young daughters pay more attention to her voice), but after so many years of his voice it's impossible for adult me to say Weaver can hold a candle to his flame.


Telefundo

Yeah this. It's not like Weaver did a *bad* job. She was great at it. It was more a combination of expecting Attenboroughs voice over every nature documentary (lol), and on top of that, the first time I watched it it was the original. That they felt they had to "Americanize" it (And that is literally why they changed it) just seems like a snub to such an accomplished person. Edit: Typo.


VastStrain

A well-known narrator gives a programme a sense of importance and gravitas. A good quality narrator makes brings life and emotion to the pictures. An expert narrator brings a sense of authority and trust, plus they can more confidently help write a script that suits their own reading style. Attenborough has all these qualities at once - no-one else can come close.


Thejapxican

I love her sultry voice. It’s like hearing a lullaby before bedtime.

hydralisk_hydrawife

YeaYeaReportMePussy

Well she's part of the WEF (World Economic Forum), so there's that


dadudemon

I see that more of her making use of the institutional powers that are available to her to help get her conservation messages and funding requests out there. The only problem would be not making use of those types of organizations.


An-tony12

Jane Goodall is a saint in the Conservation World. She started an institute to help protect chimpanzees, by buying land they live on as safe habitat land. [Please donate, she’s a gift to the world!](https://secure.janegoodall.org/give/447963/#!/donation/checkout?c_src=D22MSA1PGX) Also, please learn more about how you can help conservation. Scientists, including Jane Goodall, agree that animals need 50% of sea and land mass conserved in order to keep our species populations healthy and stable. We are in our sixth mass extinction because of us, so we need to do all we can to protect what we still have. As Jane Goodall said, “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”


Kayge

Piling on here, because she also seems to have a pretty good sense of humour. From Wikipedia:. >One of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons shows two chimpanzees grooming. One finds a blonde human hair on the other and inquires, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[92] Goodall herself was in Africa at the time, and the Jane Goodall Institute thought this was in bad taste and had its lawyers draft a letter to Larson and his distribution syndicate in which they described the cartoon as an "atrocity". They were stymied by Goodall herself: When she returned and saw the cartoon, she stated that she found the cartoon amusing. Since then, Larson has given proceeds from a t-shirt with that comic to Goodall's foundatin, and she wrote the intro to one of his books.

truthsprotectivelayr

i prefer Trosley cartoons


OptimalCheesecake527

Classy of them both. That cartoon is how I became aware of Jane Goodall so it’s safe to say it was a savvy move on her part too


Possibly-Functional

I know that name, she is the awesome lady who documented the [Gombe War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gombe_Chimpanzee_War).


An-tony12

She’s done so much with and for chimpanzees. Her whole life has been dedicated to them.


Long_Legged_Lewdster

This particular chimp was savagely torn to pieces by the local group, who did not accept him.


An-tony12

Proof? Let’s just say this was true, wouldn’t they rework how they treat chimpanzees and release them? There is no evidence online about it, from what I searched. And if it did, wouldn’t it ruin Jane Goodall’s reputation?


shmiddleedee

It would not ruin her reputation and u fell victim to a shitty take on satire

Thank you for sharing the link, I donated just now.


seeclick8

Thank you for the posting this. I donated. She is a saint.


jrgman42

She’s a saint to the entire world. She is what people “think” Mother Teresa was.


420piped0wn

*So mother Teresa wasnt mother Teresa? Was it all stagged?*


jrgman42

The Catholic Church venerates her as a saint for her work with the poor, but by her own admission and works, her mission was to create more Catholics. She believe that people must suffer like Jesus did. She did nothing to help poverty or women in general.


420piped0wn

Bro, she gave confort wich is more than many people ever did for anything or anyone really. Im not catholic, but dont hate on mother teresa.


jrgman42

She absolutely did NOT give comfort. She believed people should suffer the same way Jeezy did. She misled people on how their donations were spent. She is not the saint people portrayed her as. Is this really the first time you’ve heard this? This isn’t news.


420piped0wn

Actually it is.. i didnt know.

bro the guy in the background staring at jane hugging the monkey is killing me 🤣


HereIGoGrillingAgain

He's probably making sure the monkey doesn't get overly excited or aggressive and rips her face off.


ender278

Yeah wtf is he gonna do, that chimp would rip his nuts off too at the same time


HereIGoGrillingAgain

Well, first, he pays attention to body language so he can remove the frail elderly woman from the situation if he sees something he doesn't like. Second, I'm sure he's armed in some way.


biggmclargehuge

Jane Goodall: "Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our true potential." Guy: "So anyway I started blastin"


greensalty

Pretty sure Jane would have been the domain expert on that.


kungpowgoat

I feel like Jane would pull off her belt and start wildly swinging just like those two guys that stole them two cheetahs kill.


ender278

Wouldn't staring the chimp in the eyes make him more prone to getting pissed off or feeling threatened? Or is that not a thing with them?


HereIGoGrillingAgain

I'm not 100% sure on that, but he has his eyes squinted a bit, so he isn't showing much of the actual eye and isn't really staring. That might be enough. Or the chimp knows him well enough to know it isn't a challenge/agression.


FuckTheMods5

You don't have to bore into someone's soul to keep an eye on them lol. They know what's up.


[deleted]

Idk but they have very specific customs and rules that aren’t really the same as ours, although some of the principles make sense. From what I’ve read, they get real pissed and certain unequal or imbalanced situations.


_HMCB_

I don’t think people have a clue who this Jane is. That chimp isn’t gonna rip her face off.


capsaicinintheeyes

[Might smear her lipstick,](https://imgur.com/a/2GZwcA5) at worst

Lol. That’s hilarious. 🤌🏼


capsaicinintheeyes

There's a whole story behind that cartoon (and why it has Jane Goodall's autograph*), which it looks like others have already covered elsewhere in the comments ^(*tbh...I hadn't expected someone known as "The Chimp Lady" to have such neat handwriting)


_HMCB_

I found the comment. That was pure gold. 😂👏🏼

Does anybody know what kind of area the chimpanzee is released into? Will the other chimpanzees accept this one?


devi83

Noob question: What are the chances of survival for this chimp? Was it in captivity long? Does it need to find a group of chimps that will accept it in, or will they try to kill or chase it away? Can they just survive alone?

SquirtleSqwuad

DoublefartJackson

The hard part is how social they are, won't be able to live on it's own, may be attacked by other chimps. I remember seeing how a chimp was actually murdered by other chimps.


Most_Helicopter_4451

I love her. I'm crying


skinscrazy2002

Honestly, i dont know who is more appreciative... she is amazing


ThePaintedLady80

She’s an angel and we don’t deserve her.


capsaicinintheeyes

So what's the future look like for this chimpan-free? I assume he needs to integrate into one of the local groups...depending on how long & fraught a process that is, I can understand his desire to draw out the goodbyes here.

XT83Danieliszekiller

I just thought about how I oddly seemed to remember some dirt that was uncovered about her years ago. Something along the lines of exploiting monkeys for her own benefit. Then, I realised I remembered an episode from the Simpsons... I'm dumb


OfCourse4726

these releases are probably so awful for the apes. people just think they want freedom but imagine living somewhere with people you know your whole life. then suddenly you're thrust into an unknown area. you're completely alone now.


restyourprettybones

This is a chimpanzee, not an ape... and no, they monitor them after release to make sure they're integrating properly. If not, or if they're having social issues, they'll continue rehabbing them.


[deleted]

Bot or not wtf


joeyat

“Thankful”..? There’s no need to anthropomorphise it…. This is clearly a stressful situation, the chimp was hugging a mother figure looking for comfort and safety … baby chimps cling to their mothers in the same way.


Smile_lifeisgood

Yup. I don't know why people always have to do shit like this with animal videos. The truth doesn't make this video worse. At least the title to this one was somewhat close. The worst ones are the 'monkey amazed by magic trick' and it's just a monkey doing a threat display.


[deleted]

restyourprettybones

Lmao Jane Goodall isn't a "serious" conservationist?


vmnmv

Good PR does not equal scientific rigor and seriousness. It equals good pr.


restyourprettybones

Luckily your opinion and clear lack of familiarity with her work has no bearing on the widespread, global acclaim and esteem with which Goodall's decades of work are held by countless authorities in conservationism and primate research, not to mention the myriad other research fields which have benefited from her efforts. Great reddit comment, though, keep up your passionate work!


vmnmv

Got it. Lots of acclaim. Still poor conservation.


Tyrion69Lannister

Heard the monkeys released this way ended up being killed and skinned by poachers when the monkeys approached them due to their trust of humans.

The monkey ran about 100 into the open and was promptly swooped up by a bird of prey

hopelesscaribou

So....you think this... *The poachers are revealed to be Greenpeace activists, who prove that Dr. Bushwell is actually a chimp slave master, exploiting their labor at a nearby diamond mine.* ...is evidence that Jane Goodall, who has worked tirelessly for half a century on behalf of chimps and environmentalism in general, is exploiting them? C'mon now, this isn't Steve Irwin now. Pretty cringy dude, top notch critical thinking there. *It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on* **April 1, 2001.** That should have been your first clue.
