The work of legendary ethnobiologist, conservationist and activist Jane Goodall has already inspired people to care for endangered species and the environment for decades — but the doctor’s latest endeavor continues her work in motivating the next generation.

Apple TV+’s mission-driven children’s series “Jane” harnesses the power of TV, with Emmy-winning creator J.J. Johnson (“Endlings,” “Ghostwriter”) using Goodall’s teachings to motivate kids to take a stand for endangered species and care for the environment. “Jane,” from the Jane Goodall Institute and Johnson’s company Sinking Ship Entertainment, premiered on April 14, with 10 episodes now available on Apple TV+.

“Jane” features eager 9-year-old environmentalist Jane Garcia (Ava Louise Murchison) — who is inspired to help save the planet, following in the footsteps of her role model, Goodall — along with her friends David (Mason Blomberg) and a chimpanzee named Greybeard. Each episode focuses on a different endangered species, such as Apis mellifera (Western honey bee) and Panthera tigris (tiger). Blending live action and CGI — and featuring an epic theme song “One Step Closer” written by Diane Warren, and sung by Leona Lewis — the show depicts the friends taking a stand for the species and the environment, and getting into occasional trouble along the way. The episodes all end with the friends video-chatting with real-life animal experts, particularly highlighting women and people of color.

While Goodall’s years of dedication to great apes research and advocacy have made her a household name in the 21st century, she began her work at age 26 in 1960 studying chimpanzees. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977, which fosters research, advocacy as well as community-led conservation, and it empowers children — particularly through its youth program Roots and Shoots, which was founded in 1991.

A United Nations Messenger of Peace and a Dame Commander of the British Empire (DBE), Goodall’s research on chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania helped change scientists’ understanding of humans’ relationship to animals. The research continues in Tanzania through the Jane Goodall Institute Gombe Stream Research Center, and it is the world’s longest-running chimpanzee study.

Also a prolific author, Goodall has adult and children’s literary works such as “The Book of Hope,” “In the Shadow of Man” and “Rickie and Henri: A True Story.”

Goodall is no stranger to the screen, however, as the subject of dozens of films including “Chimps, So Like Us,” “Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees” and “Jane Goodall: The Hope” — as well as Brett Morgen’s 2017 Emmy-nominated documentary, also called “Jane.” While Goodall did not create this “Jane” for Apple TV+, her life’s work and teachings inspire the show’s protagonist who idolizes her, and if Goodall had not approved the show’s concept when it was in development, it would not have moved forward.

Goodall, who turned 89 earlier this month, spoke with Variety over Zoom about how she hopes “Jane” inspires the youngest generation, and what she hopes to accomplish next in her career.

How do you hope viewers, especially children, react when they see “Jane”?

I hope that it will encourage them to actually think more about endangered species — to think about the fact that if we’re not careful, many of these species will disappear. I hope it also will encourage young people to join our Roots and Shoots program, which is in 68 countries. It’s about young people choosing projects to help — animals, people and the environment — deciding what they want to do, working out what they can do, rolling up their sleeves and taking action.

So if this Jane Garcia encourages real-life activities, it’ll be great. I hope it will encourage young people to join in the effort to make this a better world, to choose projects that will help to save the environment before it’s too late.

Talk about environmental issues often creates anxiety in children and young adults, but it is still obviously important to learn about — how do you, through this show or beyond, hope to inspire the next generation without causing anxiety?

That’s my entire program Roots and Shoots, it’s all about taking action. If young people get together and work on projects, which is the same sort of thing with Sinking Ship Entertainment, then it’s all about positive change. We need to know that many species are close to extinction, but that we have to stop that from happening. And therefore we have to work together to find out ways of saving the animals that are moving toward extinction. We need to know about the doom and gloom — I talk about it all the time. But at the same time, it’s desperately important to give people hope, especially young people, because, yes, we can make a difference.

So “Jane” shows young people how they can get together and solve the “doom and gloom” effectively?

Yeah, hopefully. The goal is to try and get young people involved and taking action, and stepping on beyond that to do more. It’s young people getting really worried, but then working together with older people who are also wanting to try to save the species. So it’s a complete mixture.

How do we inspire the next generation to create change, without placing blame on children for a situation they didn’t create?

There are major problems and, yes, all sorts of things have led to unfortunate decreases in numbers of endangered species. But the whole emphasis is on working together to create change. Let’s get young people involved, talk about what can be done to make a difference and then, as I say, roll up their sleeves and work out what they can do. And taking action is going to be different with different species. And, basically, I hope that this program will have enough fun in it, as well as understanding the problem, that young people will be pushing toward saving a lot of these animals. Many animals on the very brink of extinction have been given another chance.

What’s an example of a species that was pushed toward extinction, but human intervention reversed the course?

My favorite one is that little black robin that was reduced to just two individuals, one male and one female. That was it. And through some very clever work, there are now about 500 of them. They’re all genetically identical, of course, but they’re being spread into four different islands. So, hopefully, there will be some genetic change so they’re not all identical, since that’s not very healthy. There are many, many stories like that.

What message do you have for people who feel hopeless, or that they alone cannot make a difference?

People have to realize that every single one of us can make a difference. We could just say, “Oh well, I know that animals are becoming extinct. There’s nothing I can do about it.” That’s really going to be the end of us. But if you decide, “I will try and make a difference, I will do something every single day,” then we can make a difference. We can choose what we can do: Some of us can help animals, some of us can help planting trees, some of us can help whatever it is that we care about. And if we all choose projects to make the world better, then it’s going to make a major difference. We don’t all give up and say, “Well, it’s just me, there’s nothing I can do.” If we give up, then the future is not very good, is it? We all have to do our bit to try and persuade other people. We’re in the middle of a pretty bad, dark space. So for young people to join in and feel, “Gosh, if I do this, I will be making the world a better place,” that’s really important.

You’ve done so much in your life and in your career — what else do you look forward to accomplishing?

I want our Roots and Shoots program to be in every school in every country. But I always say, “If you try and aim for the stars, you might reach the moon. If you aim for the moon, you might reach the head of Mount Everest,” for example. So that’s the same for the stars — and at least we can reach the moon and help to protect the various animals and plants that are facing tremendous danger. The young and old alike in different countries need to really, really work hard to save these creatures. We’ve got to do it now.

Content: World-famous for her research with chimpanzees, Jane Goodall now focuses on the human condition

Apr 21, 2024 | 0 comments

By Michelle Cohan

In 1960, on the banks of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania, one young British woman would set out to change what we know about primates forever.

Jane Goodall, in 1960, searching an African forest for chimpanzees.

Jane Goodall defied conventional scientific methods by immersing herself in the jungle, which led to groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzees; most notably that they use tools, are omnivores and that they are socially complex beings.

More than six decades later, her unorthodox field work – and her conservation efforts – are still celebrated around the world.

Today, the recently-turned 90-year-old’s work looks a little different – taking place mostly indoors, and with a different crowd. Through her program called “Roots & Shoots,” Goodall empowers young people to create change within their communities. And for her, this work is just as significant.

CNN spoke with Goodall recently during a trip to South Africa, where she observed some of the projects local Johannesburg students are heading up as part of Roots & Shoots.

The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

CNN: The younger generation has so much they can learn from elders. Who made an impact on your life?

Goodall: I think it’s really important, this exchange of information from the elders to the youngers. I was really lucky; I had an amazing mother. I was born loving animals, and she supported that love of animals. I was one-and-a-half years old, and she came into my room and she found I’d taken a whole handful of wriggling earthworms into my bed. Most mothers would’ve [said], ‘Oh, throw these dirty things [away].’ She just said, ‘Jane, I think they might die without the Earth, you better take them into the garden.’ And so she nurtured this inherent love I had … in all the insects, the birds, the animals, everybody around me.

Jane Goodall

CNN: Roots & Shoots is active in 70 countries, where hundreds of thousands of young people are making an impact within their communities. How did the program come about?

Goodall: When I began Roots & Shoots in Tanzania in 1991, it was because I was meeting young people then who had lost hope. Young people who felt we’d compromised their future. And the reason they’re losing hope, it’s obvious: climate change, loss of biodiversity. I could go on listing, listing, listing … but when they said there was nothing they could do about it, then I thought, ‘No, that’s not true.’

We worked out that Roots & Shoots’ main message [would be that] every individual has a role to play. And that we needed to think holistically in terms of helping the environment, people and animals, because we are all interrelated. That’s where it began.

CNN: What is the most important message to convey to the younger generation?

Goodall: The goal that I have is helping young people understand that there is a window of time [to save the planet]. Unfortunately, today I [still] meet more and more people who are losing hope. So many people feel helpless and hopeless because [they question] what can they can do as an individual.

But what people have to understand is when it’s 2 million, 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion, all taking small actions to make the world a better place, that is changing the world. What matters is people understanding that as an individual, what they do makes a difference. Not because it’s just them, but because they are not alone.

CNN: Does climate innovation and technology give you hope?

Goodall: Yeah, I think that if we look around at what’s happening to the planet, we need to grab onto every single thing we can that will help us to move forward out of the disaster that we have created. And if we look at solar energy, if we look at wind energy and the power of tide energy, then these things are good.

The problem has been to get government support. So governments tend to put money into the fossil fuel industry, rather than to support the new emerging technologies that will enable us to live in a more harmonious way with the natural world. If we don’t do that, our future is doomed. And unfortunately, it’s not only our future, but so many of the other animals that so many of us love. We have to take action now.

CNN: What message do you have for the world?

Goodall: A message to the world would be, don’t forget that you as an individual make an impact on the environment every single day. And it’s up to you to choose what sort of impact you make. I think once everybody understands the role that they play, whoever they are, is so desperately important, then we move towards a better world.

Editor’s note: At one of Goodall’s recent presentations in California, 93-year-old movie actor and director Clint Eastwood was in the audience. Asked why he was there, Eastwood said he supported Goodall’s work and added that he was a big fan of 90-year-olds.

Jane Goodall's approach to conservation is non-confrontational and focused on change, and she emphasizes the importance of individual actions in making a difference.

Content: Jane Goodall wants University of Wisconsin-Madison students to walk away with one message Sunday: Do not give up hope.

It’s a strategy the world-renowned ethologist and conservationist has found effective in spurring action, even as headlines catastrophizing climate change inundate people with a sense of doom.

“I don't agree with scientists who say the tipping point has already reached the point of no return with climate change and loss of biodiversity,” Goodall told the Cap Times. “We still have a window of time. But if we lose hope, fall into apathy and don't take action, then we're doomed.”

Goodall is best known for her groundbreaking work in the early ‘60s as a primatologist. At 26, she began studying chimpanzees in Tanzania, becoming the first to observe that the animals make and use tools. Now part of the world’s longest-running study of wild chimpanzees, her findings have forever changed scientific understanding of primates and humans’ relationship to them.

Goodall’s legacy also endures through her activism. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, a global conservation nonprofit. One of the organization’s programs, Roots & Shoots, educates young people in over 60 countries to work on environmental, conservation and humanitarian issues.

In 2021, Goodall additionally published “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times,” which details her hope in the world’s ability to make change despite its environmental challenges.

Goodall will speak Sunday at 7 p.m. in UW-Madison’s Memorial Union for the Wisconsin Union’s Distinguished Lecture Series. Tickets for the event sold out among students within 90 minutes, but the public can still register to watch the online livestream.

In a virtual interview with the Cap Times, Goodall spoke from the Edgewater Hotel about climate deniers, how she remains optimistic and what the audience can expect from her on Sunday.

Will you have time to explore Madison this weekend, or will you mostly be working?

It’s all working. Not mostly — all. But the hotel has a lovely view overlooking the lake with all the ice. My life turns out to be work, meeting lovely people and just having an occasional moment to walk in a bit of nature.

What can people expect to learn from you on Sunday?

I hope they take away the message that every single one of them makes a difference every single day of their lives, and they can choose what sort of difference they make. I think that’s the most important message that anybody can have — that they, as an individual, matter and have a role to play.

Your platform revolves around this message of hope. What might be the harm in catastrophizing?

It makes people lose hope. If you’re told that nothing you can do will avert the planet heating up to a point where life is no longer possible and that we’re destroying the ecosystems on which we depend, then why bother doing anything?

The important thing is to realize we still have time, but we have to take action. We have to each do our bit. It may seem small, but billions of small, ethical actions make change.

Much of your work focuses on involving young people within conservation efforts. What inspires you about the attitudes of younger generations toward animals and the environment?

They are much more aware, which isn’t surprising. When I was young, "environmentalism" wasn’t even a word.

Young people are surrounded by doom and gloom. The radio’s full of it, the internet's full of it, the television's full of it, the press is full of it, and so they're much more aware. Fortunately, there are enough people saying it's not too late, and that inspires them and galvanizes them into action.

Do you think those attitudes are much different from older generations?

They are different because older generations either didn't understand what was happening because of ignorance, or they don't want to understand because they want to carry on with business as usual. They want to go on making money in the short term at the expense of future generations.

Sometimes I don’t think they’re thinking like that. I don't think they're deliberately understanding that they're harming the future for their children and grandchildren. But they're simply not thinking in the way that we should be thinking today.

Is it still worth trying to change their minds?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! How to change the minds of the older people? Through storytelling, not through pointing fingers, not through making people angry, not by telling them they're bad, but by reaching into the heart. I’ll give you one example.

This CEO of a huge international corporation told me he was working to get his company ethical for three reasons. One, because we're using our nature's finite natural resources faster than nature can replenish them. Second, consumer pressure — people are beginning to demand ethically produced products.

But what really tipped the balance, he said, was his little girl of 8. She came back from school one day and said, “Daddy, they're telling me that what you're doing is hurting the planet. That's not true, is it, Daddy? Because it's my planet.” That reached his heart. That's the way you change people.

When did you realize this approach of storytelling could persuade people?

I think it was probably part of my nature. I'm not confrontational. I'm fighting for change, yes, but not by confronting. People must change from within. I don't believe you can change them by hammering them with facts that they don't want to listen to.

When I first went to the medical research labs where the scientists kept chimps in 5-foot by 5-foot cages, it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I came out shaken, trying not to cry. I was taken into a room with the top people from the National Institute of Health in the department of animal experimentation. I realized they were waiting for me to speak.

I said, “I imagine all of you are caring and compassionate people, and maybe feel just as I did about what's going on in there.” When you think of it, that was very clever. They couldn’t admit they weren’t caring and compassionate, could they?

Instead of telling them they were bad people, I showed them pictures of the chimpanzees in the wild, making their nests, playing, lying around. In their minds, they could contrast it with the cages where these very social beings were kept for 30 to 40 years. I know it did get into some of their hearts because they told me so. It made some labs completely change the way that they operated.

When you meet somebody, or a group of people, you may not realize that you've made a difference — but you may have planted seeds that will grow and cause change in some of the hearts.

What mistakes did you make early on in your career that emerging activists and young people can learn from?

I was saved from making mistakes in the early days. Before I went to Africa to study chimps, I was working at London Zoo. The chimps were in terrible conditions. So when I got back from my first stint in Africa, the zoo arranged a press conference. I thought now I could really tell the world how bad the chimps were treated!

I happened to be having dinner that night with a very powerful man that I met in Tanzania, and I told him about my plan with great excitement. There was dead silence. He said, “Do you realize that the head of the London Zoo is Solly Zuckerman, Winston Churchill's wartime adviser? A very, very powerful man. Do you think he's going to take it lying down when you criticize his zoo?”

He said, “Just tell me three things that are the most important to change.” I told him, and within two weeks, they were all done. There was no confrontation. That was a lesson that came just in time for me not to make that mistake.

So it’s about activists getting rid of their own personal egos.

Exactly. What people want is to have their name out there and to say, “I did it. I changed this.” It’s learning to not want to be recognized for change. The main thing is to make the change. Not “me” making the change.

This powerful man obviously didn't want me to say that the chimps were being treated badly. He immediately agreed, but didn’t want it out in the press. Give Solly Zuckerman the credit. That’s fine — as long as it changes.

This is a lesson I talk about with our youth. I tell them not to be confrontational. Your goal: Is it to glorify yourself? To be the champion? Or do you really want change?

What do people still not understand about your work and its relevance today?

Climate change deniers, people who don’t want to make a difference, probably don’t understand. What they really think is hard to tell. But are there really people who deny that climate change is happening? Probably not. When they admit it’s real, they say it’s natural and that it’s not manmade. Do they really believe that? I can’t believe they do — but that’s what they say. They don’t want to lose face, and making people lose face isn’t a good way to make change.

What makes you think they don’t really believe what they’re saying?

Well, I can't think of anybody with any ounce of intelligence could believe it. That's why.

How often do you come across those kinds of people?

Not very often. They tend to avoid me.

Mattel Inc. Unveils New Barbie Doll Dedicated to Dr. Jane Goodall

Barbie, in partnership with the Jane Goodall Institute, announced the release of a new doll dedicated to the famous scientist herself.

A Jane Goodall Barbie doll has just hit the market.

It has been a longtime wish of Dr. Jane Goodall to inspire young girls.

The doll was created to celebrate Goodall's groundbreaking research with chimpanzees and her nature conservation efforts.

“My entire career, I’ve wanted to help inspire kids to be curious and explore the world around them – just like I did when I first traveled to Tanzania 62 years ago. I’m thrilled to partner with Barbie and encourage young children to learn from their environment and feel a sense that they can make a difference,” said Dr. Jane Goodall in a statement.

Goodall is well-known for her research observing chimpanzees' similar characteristics to humans. Her work has drastically changed the way we look at the behaviors of animals and humans.

This doll is the first doll in Mattel's 'Inspiring Women Series' to be made from recycled plastic.

“Kids need more role models like Dr. Jane Goodall, because imagining they can be anything is just the beginning – seeing it makes all the difference," said Lisa McKnight, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Barbie and Dolls, Mattel in a statement.

The doll comes with a chimpanzee figure named after Goodall's famous chimpanzee companion, David Greybeard. It also comes with a notebook and a pair of binoculars.

The release of the doll comes just in time for World Chimpanzee Day on July 14.

Other dolls in the 'Inspiring Women Series' include Ida B. Wells and Maya Angelou.

Trading homework for hip waders: Regina students become stewards of conservation park

Students from a Regina high school will get to take class outside, while helping the environment.

High school students partner with Ducks Unlimited to create wetland centre of excellence

Science has always been a big part of Mireya Zigler's life.

Zigler's dad was an environmental science teacher at Martin Collegiate in Regina, and she admits to having a bit of a dinosaur obsession as a kid.

Now, Zigler and her Grade 10 classmates at Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School will get to explore their passion for science further, as they become environmental stewards at McKell Wascana Conservation Park.

The project is a partnership between the school and Ducks Unlimited to make the roughly 70-hectare (171-acre) park in east Regina a wetland centre of excellence — part of a national network of schools and community partners for the conservation organization.

The centres give students an opportunity to lead conservation projects and community outreach at their local wetland through the school year, while learning about its importance to the environment.

McKell Wascana is the third such centre in Saskatchewan, and the 27th in Canada.

"As a student, I've just found that everybody's kind of a kinesthetic learner," said Zigler.

"If you're actually going to go out and experience what you're doing, everybody is going to be able to absorb that information ... significantly more than just memorizing text in a classroom."

How these high school students are becoming advocates for the environment

Grade 10 science students from Dr. Martin LeBoldus High School in Regina are taking the classroom outside. They've partnered with Ducks Unlimited to be stewards of the McKell Wascana Conservation Park, which was recently named a Wetland Centre of Excellence.

Her classmate Kaylee Lawrence agrees. It's a great way to get out of the school to learn, says Lawrence.

"We spend a lot of time in there and it can get really boring at times," she said. "This is a great new experience and a way to get us into nature."

Student-directed activities

The 47 students involved in the project will get to choose which conservation activities they want to do.

Those include building nesting boxes for birds, and even getting waist-deep in Wascana Creek to filter the water and improve its quality downstream.

Mariane Bolla, head of national education with Ducks Unlimited, said the McKell Wascana site was chosen for the project because Ducks Unlimited helped establish the park.

Wetlands like McKell Wascana are well known for their environmental benefits — serving as natural water filters and a home for numerous species of animals. They can also store carbon, instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

Bolla said this particular project requires teachers who show leadership and are willing to put a bit more effort into their lessons.

LeBoldus science teacher Desmond Hartney was already doing some outdoor education, so the Ducks Unlimited project was a good match.

Hartney said his students are eager to start working at the site.

"They kind of feel a responsibility for maintaining it," he said. "They become advocates for the environment — not just necessarily this wetland but also other areas around the city and the province."

Hartney hopes to implement the project into other classes at LeBoldus in the future.

Zigler is hopeful her classmates will become better citizens after the year-long partnership.

"I just hope that people are going to learn to actually care about the environment," she said. "I really hope that this is going to impact them."

Asia ’ s first “Jane Goodall Primary School ” to open in Taiwan
Dr. Jane Goodall (Source Taiwan English News)
The Tang Prize Foundation and Jane Goodall International signed a cooperation agreement today (11) to support conservation and education efforts in three countries: Taiwan, Malaysia and India. The first experimental primary school in Asia focusing on conservation and sustainability issues will be opened in Taiwan. Jane Goodall Institute of Taiwan.
2020 Tang Prize Sustainable Development Laureate Dr. Jane Goodall, who was selected as a Tang Prize Laureate last year, began to use the $10 million research grant from the prize to launch sustainable conservation efforts this year. One of the projects is called Conservation Asia, which runs from August 2021 to December 2025.
The Tang Prize Education Foundation hopes to spread the power and spirit of the Tang Prize to promote sustainable development through this collaboration with the Genghuad International Association, and to carry on the Genghuad philosophy: “Human disrespect for nature has caused climate change and biodiversity crisis, and human beings should take responsibility for protecting ecosystems. ”
The main purpose of the Asia Conservation Project is to support conservation and education efforts in Taiwan, Malaysia and India, starting with the establishment of the first experimental primary school in Asia focusing on conservation and sustainability issues in Taiwan, called the Jane Goodall Sustainability Academy.
The second is Project Monyet, which raises awareness about the conservation of primates on the Malaysian peninsula through activities such as workshops and collaborates with scientists to document wildlife species.
Finally, there is the Hope Project in India, which builds a connection between young people and nature through activities such as workshops and nurtures their understanding, awareness and action of nature.
In addition, Conservation Asia will host a Youth Forum each year to help teams work together and share the fruits of their work, produce and deliver impactful and diverse teaching resources and materials to rebuild the lost connection between humanity and nature.
We believe that bringing children closer to nature from a young age will help foster children ’ s ecological literacy and caring for the planet. In addition to establishing a solid foundation in the local area, we are also committed to creating and sharing influential and diverse teaching materials to increase citizen engagement and raise public awareness of the importance of wildlife. Create a vibrant sharing platform through events such as summits, workshops, and more.
She went on to share that Taiwan ’ s first Zhengude Elementary School will guide students to understand the mysteries of nature ’ s operation, allowing children to explore in the learning environment, and cultivate three core principles of knowledge (understanding), compassion (care) and mobility.
Chen Zhenchuan, CEO of the Tang Prize Education Foundation, said that according to United Nations statistics, by 2050, more than two-thirds of the world ’ s population and about 6.4 billion people will live in cities, that is, under the rapid development of science and technology and urbanization, human intensive activities will accelerate the destruction of the earth ’ s ecology and environment and resource depletion, resulting in more green land being turned into an artificial environment. Severe disasters continue to occur, including typhoons and floods, major earthquakes, forest fires, infectious diseases, etc.
Therefore, it is more necessary to solve the problem of habitat fragmentation and maintain biodiversity through environmental and ecological protection education, so as to realize the vision of human beings and nature living side by side.

Building ecological civilization is a long-term plan that has a bearing on the well-being of the people and the future of the nation.
In recent years, the concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of people, and all schools in various places have carried out ecological civilization education, and the majority of students have begun to develop good habits of ecological protection, learning a green and low-carbon lifestyle, and the seeds of beautiful China have taken root and sprouted in their hearts.
The classroom is ecological.
Ecology in Campus
Chengnan Experimental School, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, uses the local curriculum "People, Nature and Society", combined with local natural resources, cultural heritage and urban and rural development and other typical cases, to help students understand the integrated protection and systematic management of landscape, forest, lake and grass and sand;
"What are the sensory organs of silkworms?" "What are the characteristics of silkworm eggs?" Science teachers at China Primary School in Kunming, Yunnan Province, guide students to record and observe in graphic and textual way, and strengthen the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature;
Shanghai promotes the "greening elite course into campus" project, the city greening management guidance station, garden science planning research institute and botanical garden and other established courses teaching and research group, responsible for curriculum research and development, a number of systematic greening elite courses will enter the primary and secondary schools campus...
Curriculum teaching is an important way to implement ecological civilization education.
In recent years, schools in various places have generally incorporated ecological civilization education into their school curricula with the theme of saving resources and protecting the environment.
At the same time, in the labor education sector, many schools have popularized campus planting, practiced garbage classification, and organized participation in sanitary cleaning, greening and beautification, so that students can experience the importance of ecological civilization construction in their labor.
"The cabbage is hardy and suitable for cultivation now."
Then why choose the planting time in the afternoon? ” Walking into the labor practice education base of the 12th Middle School in Zunyi, Guizhou Province, biology teacher Xia Lang, holding a hoe, led the eighth grade students to plant. “I know! Now the transpiration is weak, which is conducive to the survival of the cabbage seedlings. ”
Since 2016, Zunyi 12 Middle School has established a "Yuyao Nanshan" labor education base, which will be divided into more than 30 classes.
Teachers and students work together to turn the soil, sow seeds, carefully watering and weeding. Chili, western blue flowers, pea seedlings... with season after season harvest, is the students' love of nature and in-depth understanding of the ecological environment.
"Not only that, the community activities are also an effective way to expand the ecological civilization education radius." Song Yan, president of the school, introduced, such as biological interest community students to raise turtles, plant flowers, make ecological bottles, multi-form understanding of the ecosystem; DIY creative manual community students turn waste into treasure, using waste paper and plastic bottles to make beautiful pen containers. ""... "
Zhejiang Province has carried out in-depth ecological civilization education activities in primary and secondary schools, requiring education on the basic national conditions of forests, rivers, lakes, land, water, food and other resources, popularizing the knowledge content of "forest length system" and "river length system" and developing school-based curriculum according to local conditions. The pattern of campus is accelerating in many campuses.
Participating in Ecological Practice
Enhance environmental awareness
In the eastern part of Kangbashi District, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the sandy soil is linked into a sand wall.
A group of "red scarves" carefully walked through the sand dunes, staring at every hint of green, looking for sandy plants and seeds... Every fall semester, students in the second and third grades of the first elementary school in Kangbashi District will go to the school's sand control practice base to participate in practical courses.
Students who participated in sand control for the first time were full of curiosity, some leaned down, carefully observed the plants in the slit, some dug the sand, and touched the tough leaves.
The collected seeds were sent to the Eco-environment Vocational College in Ordos for dehydration, sealing and making specimens, and then brought back to the school's "Red Scarf" Desert Management Course Hall for students to visit and learn and enrich their knowledge of desertification control.
“In the spring semester, teachers and experts will provide on-site guidance to help children explore new planting methods such as salix and other plants to provide a better living environment. ”
According to reports, the first primary school in Kangbashi District has carried out the comprehensive practice of "red scarf" in desert management in recent years. Since April 2019, nearly 4,000 teachers, students and parents have participated in it. According to the relevant person in charge of the education and sports bureau of Shi District, local students are also organized to carry out field visits, social surveys, research trips and so on.
For example, the "protection of the mother river" series of practice, students investigate and understand the ecological situation of the Ulan Mulan River, carry out volunteer service activities, clean up the river sanitation, salvage garbage, and constantly improve ecological and environmental protection awareness.
Ecological civilization education is not only curriculum education, but also the cultivation of life education and action ability, and the social classroom outside the campus has become an important resource.
At present, many regions and schools support and guide students to carry out ecological civilization and social practice, and cultivate the ability to participate in ecological civilization construction.
"What is the ecological corridor", "talk about heavy metal pollution", "where the fish go - take you to understand water pollution"... Recently, the practice team of the School of Ecology and Environmental Science of East China Normal University "Living Ring Small Classroom" entered Maqiao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai.
Since April this year, the student lecturers of the "Green Ring Small Classroom" of the college have carried out more than 10 science popularization activities for the residents of Maqiao Town. "I applied my professional knowledge to the lectures to help everyone master environmental protection skills and cultivate green living habits."
The college has also explored the practice of "measuring beautiful China" from the field station of Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province to the field station of Erguna in Inner Mongolia.
"We provide a platform for students to participate in the construction of ecological civilization, and hope that they will broaden their horizons and enhance their abilities." Lu Kui, the project's instructor, said.
Practice green low carbon
Building a good home
As a century-old school, the campus of Guang Wen Middle School in Weifang City, Shandong Province has many century-old trees, with many kinds of trees.
Every late autumn and early winter, looking out from the classroom, orange, yellow and green, each into a scene.
In November this year, the school gave full play to the advantages of campus ecological landscape education, and organized an annual "Maple Leaf Festival" theme learning week series of activities.
The "Maple Leaf Song" poetry reading, poetry contest, poetry reading, poetry reading, history, "red story under the five-pointed maple" in the field of geography, "Chinese maple map and guide"... teachers carefully designed, students explore and grow, teachers and students together to a beautiful campus party.
Not only that, Guangwen Middle School also set up a special autumn leaf cleaning area, "pick up autumn" large class, students can pick up leaves to make bookmarks, experience the game "old roots", self-made "falling leaves rain", in the real experience of poetry, harvest happiness.
While the ecological campus is revitalized, it has also completed the mission of environmental education in the silent environment.
The campus is the main place for students to study and live, and a good campus ecological environment can provide learning fields and educational resources, so that students can feel the harmony and beauty of nature at any time and at any time, so as to gradually establish the concept of green development and ecological awareness.
For some time, many schools have actively carried out the construction of ecological campuses and beautiful campuses, and integrated with ecological civilization education.
Introducing the first "contract water saving" new management model in Fujian University, the first roof distributed photovoltaic power generation project, and promoting the dormitory air source heat pump project... Fujian University of Technology continues to carry out water saving and energy saving actions, integrating the concept of green development into daily education;
Qinghai issued the local standard "Guidelines for the Evaluation of Ecological Schools" to clarify the procedures for the creation of ecological schools and the content, requirements and conditions of evaluation.
The Qinghai education system formulated the "Implementation Plan for the Creation of Green Schools in Qinghai Province" and other documents, carried out the evaluation of the creation of schools, built a number of plateau ecological demonstration schools, and contributed educational strength to the acceleration of the construction of ecological civilization highlands;
Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province, North Central Primary School, using the geographical advantages of the beautiful countryside of the local Chian village, the campus pond, bird specimen room, weather station, propaganda gallery, botanical garden and so on to build an important carrier for the promotion, promotion and implementation of ecological civilization education, and build an environment suitable for the growth and development of rural students.
At the same time, many schools also use nodes such as Tree Planting Day, World Environment Day, and National Ecological Day to organize competitions such as essay writing, speech, painting and handwriting on the theme of practicing ecological civilization construction, integrating campus cultural activities into ecological civilization education, and creating an atmosphere of educating people to protect the campus environment and protect a beautiful home.
Teenagers are the future of ecological civilization construction, and teachers are the main body of ecological civilization education implementation.
The relevant person in charge of the Department of Teacher Work of the Ministry of Education said that the majority of teachers should lead by example and take practical action to promote students to assume their moral responsibility to nature, learn and practice the modern lifestyle of green and low-carbon, energy saving and emission reduction, and become participants and promoters of the construction of a beautiful China.

What would letting children get close to nature help cultivate?

ecological literacy
drive to protect the earth

Improving women's education can reduce fertility in developing countries, which is a key factor in mitigating population growth, a major problem according to Jane Goodall.

Title:

Content: Jane Goodall is a British ethologist, primatologist and anthropologist, UN Peace Ambassador, and an honorary member of the Council for the Future of Peace (a German non-profit foundation created with the goal of passing on a healthy planet with a just and peaceful society) to the next generations.
On February 4, the author of the Telegram channel “Voice of Mordor ” (41,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) specifically for the TV channel“ 360 ” (72,000) published a column about the proposed proposal of the scientist.
In the text, the blogger clarifies: Goodall made such a statement at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which was held in mid-January 2024.
"It turns out that solving the climate issue is quite simple - you just need to reduce the population of the Earth by... 90%.
Of course, Jane doesn ’ t suggest directly killing 90% of the people on Earth, ” says the text, which is still titled “Kill 90% of the world ’ s population ” on the 360 website.
The environmental agenda has driven the West crazy. ”
Moreover, at the beginning of the material it is separately said: “Biologist Goodall is ready to kill 90% of earthlings for the sake of climate ” .In the Telegram channel of the leading“ First channel ” Olesya Loseva (25,000 views) the following quote is given: “If we reduce the population by 90%, we can reach zero level of climate change ”.
At the same time, the post clarifies: “Although she said (Goodall – Approx. ed.) it is a long time, but the essence does not change. ”
As proof, Loseva cited a screenshot of a December news article by Slay News — this ultra-conservative English-language resource systematically disseminates disinformation and conspiracy theories, including fakes about the WEF.
The online edition, in turn, referred to a tweet swirling in September 2023 with a 15-second recording of Goodall ’ s performance, which scored almost 2 million views.
Similar publications appeared in the Telegram channels Banksta (107,000 views), Anatoly Nesmiyan (64,000), Fund for Strategic Culture (24,000) and Zapashny (12,000).
For example, in May 2023 about the “assumption ” of the scientist that“ all problems of mankind will be solved if the population of the Earth will decrease by 90% ”, wrote the Telegram-channels “Militarist ” (98,000 views),“ Zhirinovsky ’ s Notes ” (55,000), “What ’ s happening? ” (55,000),“ Bad news ” (47,000), “Freshness ” (25,000), Lomovka (19,000) and others.
In December 2022, businessman Elon Musk commented on one of the similar posts that appeared then on Twitter: “This philosophy is the death of humanity. ”
However, the most popular video was back in July 2022, but then the publications quoted another quote: “We can ’ t hide from the growth of the human population, because you know that this is at the heart of all the problems.
Such records were placed by Telegram-channels “Russia Now ” (248,000 views),“ Special Operation Z ” | Yuri Podolyaka + “(199,000), Voblya (150,000), MediaPost (102,000),“ RIA Katyusha ” (92,000), “Skeptic ” (92,000)“ Buyan – What ’ s in the World? ” (73,000), “DPR Info ” (71,000), TG Team Russia (63,000),“ Patron ” (60,000), “First Kharkiv ” (59,000),“ Andrey Fursov ” (55,000), “Saffron ” (24,000),“ Ukraine. (24,000), Zapashny (21,000), Kuchera (18,000) and Yana Poplavskaya (11,000).
Among the media, the alleged Goodall proposal was reported by the Public News Service, Morning South (it is specified that the scientist made a statement at the WEF 2022), Tsargrad, as well as Shari.net.
Former State Duma deputy Valery Rashkin wrote in his column on the CPRF party ’ s website that Goodall “publicly advocated a 90 percent reduction in the world ’ s population ” from the rostrum of the WEF on July 28, 2022.
In addition, the news has become popular in “Vkontakte ” (examples here, here and here).
In 2022, the World Economic Forum was held not in the summer, but in the spring - from May 22 to 26, but the viral video was not filmed during this event.
In fact, the Network is distributing a video recorded at the Davos summit in January 2020.
The public discussion with the participation of the British scientist was devoted to ensuring a sustainable future for the countries of the Amazon.
A 40-minute recording of the discussion was published on the official YouTube channel of the WEF, and at 31: 37, Goodall utters the phrase from the viral video:
We cannot hide from population growth because it is at the root of many other problems.
All these things we are talking about would not be a problem if the world ’ s population was the same as 500 years ago.
Neither in this quote, nor during the entire discussion, did the scientist state or suggest that the population of the Earth should be reduced by 90% and that this would solve all the world's problems.
She only noted that, together with population growth, people face the challenges associated with this process.
The authors of most of the above publications either misunderstood Goodall ’ s words or deliberately misinterpreted them, even when quoting her correctly.
In addition, there is another error in the misinterpretation of the quotation.
According to the UN, in November 2022, the world population reached 8 billion people and is expected to grow until the last quarter of the 21st century.
That is, 10% of the current level is slightly more than 800 million people.
According to various studies, 500 years ago, that is, at the beginning of the XVI century, the number of people on the planet was in the range of 400 – 600 million – about 5 – 7.5% of the 8 billion.
That is, to return to the level of the population 500 years ago, the number must be reduced by 92.5 – 95%.
During the discussion, BBC journalist Mishal Hussein asked the scientist about the 1t.orgproject to restore and grow a trillion trees, whose ambassador is Goodall: “How important is it that planted trees are valuable enough to do everything possible and make sure they are not cut down by local communities or large corporations? ”
In her response, Goodall spoke about the importance of forest conservation and the goals of the project, and listed four “dark things ” that need to be“ mitigated ” — factors that lead to deforestation:
1.
poverty, as poor people need more space to grow food;
2. non-ecological way of life and consumer behavior of non-poor segments of society;
3. Corruption, which should be eliminated by politicians;
4.
population growth because natural resources are limited.
Goodall spoke about these issues, in particular the fourth point, in her earlier speeches and interviews.
At the same time, she never proposed to forcibly reduce humanity, but advocated measures to gradually slow down population growth.
Among them, in her speech at the Population Matters conference in 2019, she called for improving education as well as empowering women.
It should be noted that some studies confirm the relationship between increasing the level of education of women and declining fertility in developing countries.
In an interview with CBS News in July 2020, Goodall stressed that the changes should take place on a voluntary basis:
Population problems are politically sensitive, so I am talking about voluntary population optimization.
So it's okay, it's voluntary, it's your choice.
You optimize it for your financial situation.
People are desperately trying to educate their children, and they can no longer educate the eight.
Therefore, they love family planning, and women can so increase the intervals between the birth of their children to be able to take care of them.
Thus, Jane Goodall never called for or proposed to solve all the world's problems by destroying more than 90% of humanity.
Posts containing this statement are the result of manipulation, or at least incorrect interpretation of the real words by the scientist, which were taken out of context.
Goodall, indeed, spoke many times about the problem of overpopulation of the planet, but in fact proposed only to slow down population growth by improving women's access to education.
Bottom line: Not true
