Jane Goodall Instagram – ✨ Jane’s extraordinary impact continues with a hopeful and historic step forward in protecting our closest animal relatives.
Earlier this month, the Spanish government renewed their commitment to protecting great apes by officially restarting the process to draft the ‘Ley Jane Goodall’ — the Jane Goodall Law — a groundbreaking effort to legally recognize and protect the rights and dignity of great apes: chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans, and gorillas.
Our colleagues at the Jane Goodall Institute Spain (@janegoodallespana) are helping shape a rigorous, science-based legal framework that reflects what we know to be true — that great apes are sentient, emotionally complex beings who deserve to live free from harm, neglect, and exploitation. This work is in collaboration with Fundació MONA, Fundación Rainfer, AAP Primadomus, Proyecto Gran Simio, and Fundación Animal Guardians.
💬 As Laia Dotras, Co-director of the Jane Goodall Institute Spain, shares:
“The legacy of Jane Goodall calls us to action: protecting great apes is a historical and moral responsibility.”
Together we can. Together we will. Together we must continue Jane’s work.
