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]
