The Jane Goodall Institute 3 Annual Report 2016 Our Programs

Dr. Jane Goodall discovered that when we put local communities at the heart of conservation, we improve the lives of people, animals and the environment. JGI advances Dr. Goodall’s holistic approach through a tapestry of nine programs that build on each other and bring the power of community-centered conservation to life. CONSERVATION SCIENCE HEALTHY HABITATS We use the latest technologies to solve We work with local communities and some of the world’s toughest conservation governmental and organizational partners challenges. These tools enable us to monitor to develop and implement conservation habitat suitability, track the movement of action plans for key chimpanzee habitat to , and monitor impact on support the genetic and cultural diversity critical habitats. of chimpanzees in the wild.

The Jane Goodall Institute 9 Annual Report 2016 UGANDA Girls’ Peer-to-Peer Education Project Since 2008, the Peer Education Project has trained 732 peer educators on sexual reproductive health, including HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, menstruation, and pregnancy as well as life-planning skills. These peer educators have mentored 8,444 girls, helping thousands to stay in school. More than 700 girls have returned to school after dropping out.

ROOTS & SHOOTS Making a Difference Across the United States Roots & Shoots mini-grants help young people become compassionate leaders who are making a difference right now: People In McKinney, Texas, high school students filled the shelves of Hope’s Door emergency shelter and transitional homes with books for the young children and teens living there to escape domestic abuse. Animals In Kapaau, Hawaii, students created the Great Pollinator Hunt to help collect data on pollination, which is vital to the circle of life. They work with farmers’ markets, libraries and community gardens to gather pollination data and advocate for less insecticide use and more pollination-friendly habitat. Environment In the arid environment of Windsor, Colorado, students ages 6 to 10 studied their watershed, learned to test the water pH, and became familiar with water use laws and regulations. To share their discoveries with the community, they hosted a water festival. Protecting and conserving their local watershed remains priority #1. Roots & Shoots

The Jane Goodall Institute 15 Annual Report 2016 TANZANIA Engaged Communities, Lasting Impact Engaging local communities to develop, implement and enforce their village land-use plans and forest reserves is one of the most effective ways to make a sustainable impact for people, animals and the environment. Throughout 2016, JGI trained local, regional and district commissioners, executive directors and their staffs to use the Forest Monitoring Dashboard. We also provided the Android tablets to collect field data and visualize forest monitoring and assessments on the dashboard. Such tools and training are key to JGI’s expanded Africa Programs and the hallmark of how we operate now— giving people meaningful tools to lead their own conservation efforts and link local and regional concerns. When people are empowered to see the connection between conservation and their community’s future, they see how their actions can make a difference. Conservation Science

In many chimpanzee range areas, people are uninformed about the endangered state of great apes and in regard to their protections under the law. Dr. Goodall sees the power of social media to build awareness, empathy and activism on a global scale as so transformational that she recently adopted it as her fifth Reason for Hope.
