At 80 years old, scientist Jane Goodall continues to enjoy the joy of discovery.“Trees can communicate with each other,” she said during her Nov.16, 2017 China visit to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the China establishment of her youth organization Roots & Shoots, which has grown to more than 600 branches in the country among 150,000 active groups globally.
Jane Goodall still travels 300 days a year in all around the world and says she absorbs energy from the inspired people she meets in each country.The elderly activist and the youth take inspiration from each other.
On Nov.16, 2017, she visited the project of Roots & Shoots which was set up in Beijing.“She thought our project was great,” says 16-year-old Beijing Experimental High School student Qi Zhengyang, whose group helps protect a wetlands in the suburbs of Beijing.“She said we're doing a good job.She paid attention to us.”
Jane Goodall plans to continue to set up Roots & Shoots branches as many as possible throughout the world.“I'll go on as long as I can,” she says.“I hope I maintain physical health as long as possible because there's so much to do.” Her aspiration for the organization in China is to expand in rural areas.Most branches are in big cities as Beijing and Shanghai.
It was publishing her findings about chimpanzees (My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees)
more than half a century ago that made Jane Goodall a household name in the world.She was named United Nations Messenger of Peace in 2002.
