The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) is a global wildlife and environment conservation organization headquartered in Vienna, Virginia. It was founded in 1977 by English primatologist Jane Goodall.^[1]

The institute has offices in more than twenty-five countries around the world.^[2]

Activities[]

Protecting Great Apes[]

JGI works to protect chimpanzees and other primates by supporting sanctuaries, law enforcement efforts to reduce illegal trafficking, and public education to protect endangered species in the wild.^[3]

Improving Gender and Health Outcomes[]

JGI achieves this through community-centered health projects, improvements to water supplies, and programs designed to keep girls in school.^[4]

Promoting Sustainable Livelihoods[]

JGI does this through improved agricultural practices, community-managed microcredit programs, and sustainable production techniques that increase incomes while protecting forests^[5] and watersheds.^[6]
