Jane Goodall Research Paper

Despite a lack of scientific academic education, Jane Goodall’s work on the chimpanzees made revolutionary breakthrough in the field of understanding chimpanzee behavior. It was all made possible by her firm belief on her unconventional methods which academics in the field eyed with cynicism and felt was pointless. Such pessimistic outlook on her efforts from established academics did not blight her morale; instead she carried on with her methods of analyzing the chimpanzee population with full enthusiasm and self belief.

Jane Goodall is a historical woman that has taught human beings not only about chimpanzees, but human nature as well. This primatologist held on to a dream from childhood that advanced into reality. Jane quietly and patiently observed chimps in Africa, and then recorded their every move. Many important discoveries came about because of this. Jane Goodall has remarkably changed the perception of chimpanzees and humans alike.

Goodall, J. (1971). In the Shadow of Man. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. The author’s goal in writing this book is to discuss her experiences and what she had learned from studying wild Chimpanzees. Goodall wrote this book in order to convey her knowledge of a species of animal she loves very much, so that others may become educated and join her in protecting them. She dreamed of going to Africa to see them, and was offered a job by Dr. Lewis Leakey. Goodall wanted nothing more than a chance to help. Her experiences in surrounding herself with them have completely changed the way scientists conduct field research. Whether she intended to or not, the data she has collected has debunked myths and uncovered truths about chimpanzees, while bringing more light to human behavior.

Dian Fossey was a normal young lady that had the dream of taking part in the research of gorillas in Africa. She attended a conference one evening that was given by Dr. Louis Leaky. Dr. Leaky talked about the enormous problem of keeping the gorillas that roamed the Virunga Mountains of Africa from going extinct. He explained the

The first issue presented in the documentary Virunga was the amount of illegal poaching that happens in the National Park; the poachers would kill the parents of, near extinct, baby mountain gorillas and sell them to overseas buyers. The documentary interviews one of the carers in the gorilla orphanage, André Bauma; this gives an insight into how the local community and park rangers feel about the issue of poaching in the Park. The directors used direct interviews to give personal views and information with first hand experiences through the people. Using direct interviews is an effective way giving the audience a sense of realism as the filmmakers views are mutually shared by the interviewee making the argument more valid, real and worth fighting

I watched the Ted Talk entitled “Life Lessons from Big Cats” by Beverly and Dereck Joubert. The Joubert’s spend their time filming and photographing lions and leopards in their natural habitat. In this talk, they discuss their personal relationships with these magnificent animals as well as their mission to save them from human threats. I sincerely admire what these people do in their lives. They push human limits so far that we have the opportunity to see such beautiful videos and pictures, and I think that is not only courageous but also extraordinary.
