A Lifetime with Chimpanzees
1 Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the ground breaking,
long-term research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall.
2 Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday, her father
gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. From an early age, Jane was fascinated by animals
and animal stories. By the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the
animals there. At the time, in the early 1940s, this was a radical idea because women did not go
to Africa by themselves.
3 Once in Kenya, she met Dr Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist. He was
impressed with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her to assist him
and his wife on a fossil-hunting expedition to Olduvai Gorge. Dr Leakey soon realized that Jane
was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time.
4 Dr Leakey and Jane began planning a study of a group of chimpanzees who were living on the
shores of Lake Tanganyika in Kenya. Jane faced many challenges as she began her work. The
chimpanzees did not accept her right away, and it took months for them to get used to her
presence in their territory. But she was very patient and remained focused on her goal. Little by
little, she was able to enter their world.
5 At first, she was able to watch the chimpanzees only from a great distance, using binoculars.
As time passed, she was able to move her observation point closer to them while still using
camouflage. Eventually, she was able to sit among them, touching, patting, and even feeding
them. It was an amazing accomplishment for Jane, and a breakthrough in the study of animals
in the wild. Jane named all of the chimpanzees that she studied, stating in her journals that she
felt they each had a unique personality.
from the above passage find the word which means the same as 'exploration'.
