Jane Goodall Zitate

Dame Jane Goodall, DBE, mit vollem Namen Valerie Jane Goodall , ist eine britische Verhaltensforscherin, die 1960 begann, das Verhalten von Schimpansen im Gombe-Stream-Nationalpark in Tansania zu untersuchen. Um für den Erhalt der Habitate der Primaten und damit für den Schutz ihrer Arten zu werben, gründete sie das Jane-Goodall-Institut, das Behandlung und Verständnis der Primaten durch öffentliche Bildung und rechtliche Vertretung zu verbessern sucht, die Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Gemeinden stärken will und junge Leute für diese Aufgaben gewinnt und ausbildet.

Goodall ist neben Dian Fossey und Birutė Galdikas eine von drei Frauen, die auf Anregung des Paläontologen Louis Leakey Anfang der 1960er Jahre Langzeitstudien über Menschenaffen begannen. Leakey hoffte, von diesen Verhaltensbeobachtungen Rückschlüsse auf das Verhalten der Vormenschen ziehen zu können.

Jane Goodall Berühmte Zitate

„Wenn Schimpansen Gewehre und Messer hätten und wüssten, wie man mit ihnen umgeht – sie würden sie benutzen wie der Mensch.“

Jane Goodall: Zitate auf Englisch

Jane Goodall zitat: “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 zitat: “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

“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.”

Subject: Jane Goodall, primatologist and conservationist http://www.dailysummit.net/says/interview260802.htm, interviewed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002)

“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.

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

Subject: Jane Goodall, primatologist and conservationist http://www.dailysummit.net/says/interview260802.htm, interviewed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002)

“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
