Day 16 A photo of someone who inspires you
Jane Goodall is a trailblazer in Environmentalism, Primatology, Animal Conservation, and to top it all off a woman. When Loius Leakey chose her and Dian Fossey to go to Africa to study primates, people laughed and wondered what he was thinking sending 2 young whitebred females off to the wilds of Africa to study apes with no formal training. Both of these women surprised the world. Sadly Dian Fossey was killed for standing up to poachers who were killing her beloved Gorillas. Luckily Jane is still with us educating people to protect the earth and animals of Africa, and hopefully inspiring young girls to dream big.
For a very long time, I wanted to be a Primatologist like these women. Now I would settle to just be like these women, period.
