SPOTLIGHT : JANE GOODALL

Seeding The Future

Dr . Jane Goodall turns her passion and voice to Trees for Jane , a grassroots effort to plant and protect one of Earth ’ s most precious resources .
WHEN DR . JANE GOODALL was a little girl growing up in Bournemouth , England , one of her best friends was a beech tree in her yard that she would climb , read stories to , and share secrets with . It was from its branches that she first dreamed of living in the forest . After dedicating her life to studying and protecting endangered animals around the world , the 87-year-old primatologist is now using her voice and platform to protect , preserve , and nurture that early love of hers — trees .
Trees for Jane is a new global initiative that was launched during Climate Week NYC in September , with HP as a proud founding partner . The campaign makes it incredibly easy for everyone who is able to get involved , either by planting a tree and and registering it , or donating funds to help replant trees in the places that need them the most .
