Jane Goodall Institute



The Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) is a global wildlife and environment conservation organization headquartered in Vienna, Virginia. It was founded in 1977 by English primatologist Jane Goodall.

JGI's main office is in the United States, but it has branches in world; its Gombe Stream Research Center is located in Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania.

JGI works to protect chimpanzees and other primates by supporting sanctuaries, law enforcement efforts to reduce illegal trafficking and public education to protect endangered species in the wild.

JGI achieves this through community-centered health projects, improvements to water supplies and programs designed to keep girls in school.

JGI does this through improved agricultural practices, community-managed microcredit programs, and sustainable production techniques that increase incomes while protecting forests and watersheds.
