This is a personal remembrance published on the anniversary of Jane Goodall's death at 91, written by a friend who knew her for thirteen years. It recounts her warmth toward children, her belief that hope functions as a tool that creates agency rather than a passive feeling, and her insistence that small local victories ripple outward into larger change.
The piece recalls Goodall's wish to be remembered for founding Roots & Shoots and for helping people understand that humans are not the only sentient beings on the planet, alongside her description of humanity standing at the mouth of a dark tunnel working toward a distant star of hope.
