China remembers ‘guiding light’ Jane Goodall’s wildlife conservation work

Tributes paid to late British primatologist whose institute trained thousands of Chinese on protecting animals

Jane Goodall has been remembered as a “guiding light” in China, with hundreds of millions of people paying tribute online to the conservationist who died this week, aged 91.

The British primatologist and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute was well known in China, and her research and findings were ubiquitous in Chinese educational materials, which listed her among “women of achievement” in text books.
