WWF UK statement on the legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall

Tanya Steele, Chief Executive at WWF UK said:

'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall. She was a huge force for nature, tirelessly advocating for the protection and restoration of our natural world. 

Her presence will be sorely missed. Her passion for passing on a world thriving with wildlife to the next generation, through the Jane Goodall Institute, will be her enduring legacy.'
