Jane GoodallJane Goodall is one of the world's most admired women, an acclaimed scientist and environmentalist (www.nationalgeographic.com). The work he does is called ethology, which is the study of animal behavior. Such a successful woman has numerous admirable qualities. He has made great contributions to society and the animal kingdom. His research paved the way for countless primate studies and changed the way many people view chimpanzees. Trying to narrow it down to just three admirable qualities about her is difficult, since she has so many. For me, his most admirable qualities are his patience and tenacity in understanding animals, his research on chimpanzees, and the contributions he made to the world by founding various institutions. Studying chimpanzees is no easy task. Next, Jane Goodall made everything seem as simple as doing everyday tasks. When she began the search, the chimpanzees ran away from her in fear. It took many months for her to warm up to them. With patience and persistence, he searched the forest every day, deliberately trying not to get too close to them. He did this every day for many months. On some days Jane watched the chimpanzees with binoculars from a peak overlooking the forest, just so as not to disturb their natural behavior. Gradually, over a long period of time, the chimpanzees became accustomed to her. Right now, he would be able to walk up to them and just sit there and study them. He believed this was the turning point in his research. Jane tells us: “I have to find a way to observe free, wild animals living their lives undisturbed. I wanted to learn things no one else knew, to discover secrets through patient observation. I wanted to get as close as possible to the dialogue with animals (www.nationalgeographic.com).” Being able to have so much patience and persistence is amazing. Jane's scientific discoveries laid the foundation for all future primate studies. His interest was studying chimpanzees to gain insights into the evolutionary past of humans. His observations changed the way researchers and ordinary individuals view chimpanzees. Jane had observed chimpanzees making and using tools for different reasons, such as using straws to dig termites out of nests. His studies highlighted numerous similarities between humans and chimpanzees, this discovery amazed the world. The more his research went on, the more it became clear how similar chimpanzees really are to people. Some people believed his research would last only a few months, however it became the longest field study on any animal species in their natural environment (www.
