Primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall will be the keynote speaker tonight at an event on the University of Denver campus.
Goodall, who gained fame studying chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania some 50 years ago, will appear at the Newman Center’s June Swaner Gates Concert Hall, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., at 7 p.m.
The presentation is part of the Global Explorers Citizens of the World Awards, Keynote Lecture and Book Signing.
Goodall’s groundbreaking work continues, and she’ll talk about programs that have evolved to conserve precious forest habitat and to improve the lives of people living in villages near Gombe.
Books written by Goodall, along with Jane Goodall Institute merchandise and memberships, will be available for purchase at the event. She’ll sign books following the lecture.
Global Explorers is a Colorado based non-profit that teaches leadership, service learning, cultural tolerance, and conservation biology through student travel. The lecture is sponsored by Natural Habitat Adventures.
