Goodall’s interactions with the chimps, especially with an older chimp named David Greybeard, led to groundbreaking discoveries about their behavior, including tool usage and complex emotions, challenging existing scientific beliefs. Goodall’s work raised awareness about chimpanzees and the need to protect their habitats. In response to the threats faced by the chimps, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 and the Roots & Shoots program in 1991 to support research and conservation efforts.
