Institute • In 1977, Jane Goodall founded the Institute, which supports the Gombe research. Its global youth program, began in 1991 when a group of 16 local teenagers met with Jane on her back porch in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. They were eager to discuss a range of problems they knew about from first-hand experience that caused them deep concern. There are several core values that inform everything we do.

Conservation programs The harsh realities facing villagers in the Kigoma region outside Gombe shaped the Jane Goodall Institute’s evolution further. On a flyover of Gombe one day in the 1990 s, Jane saw hillsides denuded in every direction, right up to the park boundary. Thus she cemented a broad vision for species conservation: to be effective, it had to address the needs of the human populations surrounding habitat. This community-centered conservation and development program partners with communities to create sustainable livelihoods while promoting conservation goals. JGI’s TACARE is succeeding in changing lives because its projects are driven – and embraced – by local communities. It has been recognized by the US Agency for International Development and others as a model worth emulating. In recent years we’vereplicated TACARE in central and western parts of Africa.
