The world renowned icon and distinguished expert on wildlife and chimpanzees, Dr Jane Goodall visited the Observatory on 11 June 2009.  Apart from her knowledge in wildlife, Dr Goodall is famous for her untiring effort in protecting the environment and endangered species.

One of the highlights of the visit was a talk in which Dr Goodall spoke of her interest in African wildlife since childhood.  She touched and inspired the audience with her perseverance in scientific research and her love for wildlife, in particular chimpanzees.  Dr Goodall continues her work today by promoting awareness on the threats facing chimpanzees and other environmental issues.  Her effort translated into her success and in turn made a difference to the world.
