The past few days have been exceptional in Paris with the presence of Dr. Jane Goodall, an iconic figure in conservation, a defender of nature, and an inspiration to generations worldwide. The Jane Goodall Institute France had the honor of hosting her and organizing a memorable event at UNESCO, where her historic speech, “A Speech for History,” touched the hearts of all attendees.
A Memorable Day for the Future
UNESCO resonated with the tireless energy of Dr. Jane Goodall. In front of an audience of ambassadors, young people from the Roots & Shoots program, and guests gathered for this unique conference, she delivered a message of peace, hope, and commitment to a better future.
Her deeply inspiring speech addressed environmental challenges, climate emergencies, and the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. Yet, as always, Jane Goodall did not merely discuss problems; she emphasized solutions and the necessity of collective action.
A Vision of Peace and Action
The Roots & Shoots program, which unites young people worldwide around tangible projects to protect the environment, was at the heart of her message. Dr. Goodall praised their dedication and reminded everyone that every individual, regardless of age or background, can make a positive impact.
With simple yet powerful words, she encouraged everyone to become agents of change:
“It’s our choices that make the difference. Together, we can restore our world, and it’s never too late to start.”
A Well-Deserved Standing Ovation
Each of Dr. Goodall’s interventions was met with warm applause and, on several occasions, standing ovations from a deeply moved audience. This moment of unity, bridging generations and cultures, is a testament to the unique impact she continues to have on the world.
A Timeless Source of Inspiration
Jane Goodall’s visit to Paris reminds us that even in the face of colossal challenges, hope and collective action can pave the way for a better future. The Jane Goodall Institute France, proud of this event, reaffirms its commitment to pursuing the missions championed by this remarkable woman: protecting biodiversity, raising awareness among future generations, and promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
For those who didn’t have the chance to witness this exceptional moment, Jane Goodall’s message still resonates: it’s in our hands to build a future of peace, harmony, and respect for our planet.
