Jane Goodall began her field research, including the chimpanzees' habitat and the way they live. She discovered many facts about this species that were once unknown to almost everyone, for example: chimpanzees are carnivores and they can make their own tools to use.

Jane Goodall left her home country England and traveled to the forest of Gombe (now in Tanzania), where she observed wild chimpanzees and made important discoveries about them.

Jane Goodall Institute was founded in order to do more research and also protect the chimpanzees. Over time, the institute worked to encourage people around the world to start conservation of wildlife animals. It became very successful.
