"I wasn't a scientist.  I hadn't had any scientific training. I had my passion my love of animals. And when I finally got to Cambridge...they told me I'd done everything wrong: the chimpanzee shouldn't have had names. I couldn't talk about personality, mind, or emotion because those were unique to us, and I shouldn't have empathy with my subject because scientists must be coldly objective.  And I knew they were talking absolute rubbish because I had a great teacher when I was a child, and that was my dog Rusty.  You can't have can't share your life with a dog a cat--I don't care what animal--and know that we're not the only sentient, sapient beings on the planet." --Jane Goodall

"In the last five decades, we've destroyed 70% of the world's wildlife." --Iván Duque

"We've designed a rocket that goes up to Mars...we've designed the internet...but I say that we're the most intellectual creature to walk on the planet, not the most intelligent, because what intelligent creature would destroy its only home." --Jane Goodall

"What we depend on is healthy ecosystems and an ecosystem, as you know, is made up of a complex mixture [of] plant and animal species.  I see it as like a beautiful tapestry, and every time a species goes from that particular ecosystem, it's like pulling a thread from the tapestry and if enough threads are pulled, the tapestry will hang in tatters and the ecosystem will collapse.  And this is happening, it's happening around the world...we are in very dark times." --Jane Goodall

"[I was part of] the breakthrough observation seeing a chimpanzee use grass stems as a tool, strip leafy twigs to make a tool to fish for termites, and at that time science believed humans and only humans used and made tools. We were man the tool maker, so [Dr. Louis] Leakey said, well, now we shall have to redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimps as humans." --Jane Goodall
