Jane was part of a panel discussion on REDD, which stands for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation. REDD was a hot topic in Copenhagen and one of the only clear "winners" of negotiations there. (Photo: Vasco van Roosmalen)
Jane hit it off with one of JGI's partners, Chief Almir Surui of the Surui peoples in Rondonia, Brasil. JGI is involved in a “South-South" forest monitoring and protection partnership with the Surui Carbon Project. Our forest monitors in Tanzania and Uganda share experiences and mutually support REDD-related, community-centered goals with their Brasilian counterparts.  (Photo: Vasco van Roosmalen)

Networking with others working toward the same goal -- saving forests -- was an important activity for NGOs at the conference. JGI's project is a  partnership of business, government and nonprofits, with partners including the Tanzanian government, Google.org, Google Earth Outreach, ESRI, DigitalGlobe, ACT Brazil, Forest Trends and the Woods Hole Research Center.

Jane took part in a panel discussion at a side event hosted by Avoided Deforestation Partners. The panel, titled “International Leaders and Innovators on Forests and Climate,” was moderated by  journalist Thomas Friedman. Other participants included Sir Richard Branson; His Excellency Bharrat Jagdeo, president of Guyana; and the Honorable Jens Stoltenberg, prime minister of Norway. (Photo: Jacob Crawfurd)

Mothers and infants are pretty much always in physical contact.

Big eyes take in the world -- or at least Gombe National Park.

Jane Goodall observed that an attentive, relaxed mothering style seemed to be positive for youngsters.
Chimpanzees often remind us of ourselves.

Generally chimpanzees arrive at Tchimpounga after having witnessed their mothers and other community members shot by hunters.Photo: Ken Cameron  (Sanctuary chimpanzee pictured. JGI does not endorse handling or approaching wild chimpanzees.)
Hunters do not kill baby chimps for meat. Instead they take the infants and try to sell them as pets or roadside attractions. Trading in chimpanzees -- an endangered species -- is illegal.Photo: Ken Cameron (Sanctuary chimpanzee pictured. JGI does not endorse handling or approaching wild chimpanzees.)

La Vielle is a somewhat depressed chimpanzee. For years she was afraid to step off concrete -- no doubt a result of early training by a human. But one day she took the plunge and stepped on the grass. Today she likes to spend hours in "Gregoire's garden."Photo: Courtesy JGI-France
