Jane van Lawick-Goodall citáty

Valerie Jane Morris Goodallová je anglická bioložka zabývající se výzkumem primátů - zejména šimpanzů.

Již v mládí se zajímala o zvířata. Po ukončení studií krátce pracovala na Oxfordské univerzitě a ve svých 23 letech odcestovala na pozvání svého přítele do Keni.

Začala zde pracovat spolu se slavným primatologem Louisem Leakeyem. Ten rozvinul její zájem o šimpanze a podpořil ji při jejím rozhodnutí studovat tato zvířata ve volné přírodě v Národním parku Gombe v Tanzánii. Během doby udělala mnoho objevů - zjistila například, že šimpanzi používají nástroje, že dokážou projevovat své emoce a že jsou masožravci, ale také např. to, že se mezi sebou vraždí. Šimpanze v Gombe studovala 45 let a získala si tak světovou pověst jako odborník na chování primátů.

Jane Goodallová napsala několik knih a v roce 1977 založila The Jane Goodall Institute, jehož cílem je výzkum, vzdělávání a ochrana divoké přírody.

Jane Goodallová i ve svém věku stále cestuje po celém světě a s nadšením se dělí o své cenné životní zkušenosti.

Jane van Lawick-Goodall: Citáty anglicky

Jane Goodall citát: “Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?”

“The least I can do is speak out for the hundreds of chimpanzees who, right now, sit hunched, miserable and without hope, staring out with dead eyes from their metal prisons. They cannot speak for themselves.”

Reported in Janelle Rohr, Animal rights: opposing viewpoints (1989), p. 100; Jane Goodall and Jennifer Lindsey, Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe (1999), p. 6. Occasionally misreported in truncated form, as "The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves", in, e.g., quote honored on XOEarth eco money http://xoearth.org/jane-goodall/

“Researchers find it very necessary to keep blinkers on. They don't want to admit that the animals they are working with have feelings.”

" An Interview with Jane Goodall https://web.archive.org/web/20100920074838/http://www.idausa.org:80/essays/goodallinterview.html", In Defense of Animals (date unknown)
Kontext: Researchers find it very necessary to keep blinkers on. They don't want to admit that the animals they are working with have feelings. They don't want to admit that they might have minds and personalities because that would make it quite difficult for them to do what they do; so we find that within the lab communities there is a very strong resistance among the researchers to admitting that animals have minds, personalities and feelings.

“Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall they be saved.”

Reported in Patti Denys, Mary Holmes, Animal Magnetism: At Home With Celebrities & Their Animal Companions (1998), p. 106

Jane Goodall citát: “The greatest danger to our future is apathy.”

“The greatest danger to our future is apathy.”

"The Power of One", Time Magazine (26 August 2002)

“The most important thing is to actually think about what you do. To become aware and actually think about the effect of what you do on the environment and on society. That's key, and that underlies everything else.”

As quoted in Going Blue: A Teen Guide to Saving Our Oceans, Lakes, Rivers, & Wetlands (2010) by Cathryn Berger Kaye and Philippe Cousteau, p. 14

“I think if we study the primates, we notice that a lot of these things that we value in ourselves, such as human morality, have a connection with primate behavior.”

Frans de Waal, in a NOVA interview, " The Bonobo in All of Us" PBS (1 January 2007) http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/bonobo-all-us.html; quotes from this interview were for some time misplaced on this page, which probably generated similar misattributions elsewhere, and the misplacement was not discovered until after this quotation had been selected for Quote of the Day, as a quote of Goodall. Corrections were subsequently made here, during the day the quote was posted as QOTD.

Kontext: I think if we study the primates, we notice that a lot of these things that we value in ourselves, such as human morality, have a connection with primate behavior. This completely changes the perspective, if you start thinking that actually we tap into our biological resources to become moral beings. That gives a completely different view of ourselves than this nasty selfish-gene type view that has been promoted for the last 25 years.

“I wanted to talk to the animals like Dr. Dolittle.”

Reported in Brad Dunn, "Change of Scenery", When They Were 22: 100 Famous People at the Turning Point in Their Lives (2006), p. 51

“We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.”

“Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is alright, as long your values don't change.”
