With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.

In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane

September 30th 2025 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

On this day, we remember and honour the lives of Indigenous children
who endured the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical abuse and
often inevitable death of attending the Indian residential school
sytem - a direct attack and act of genocide of the Canadian government
targeting Inidgenous communities and children that operated from 1821
to 1996.

We call upon the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments and
all settlers and non-Indigenous people living on these lands today to
make good on the 94 Calls to Action laid out by the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015).

Acetaminophen continues to be an important and safe option for managing pain and fever in pregnancy—conditions that can pose serious risks to pregnant patients and their fetuses if left untreated.

Georgia O’Keeffe once disappeared into the New Mexico desert for days, alone, with nothing but a sketchbook and bones she collected off the sand. Friends thought she was losing herself. She thought she was finding it. When she returned, her hands were blistered, her face sunburnt, and her bag heavy with skulls and stones — fragments of death she would turn into luminous paintings of life.
By then, O’Keeffe had already broken free from the art world’s cage. Critics in New York insisted on calling her flower paintings “erotic,” reducing her to a muse rather than a master. She bristled at the labels, spitting back, “They hung all their own associations on my work.” So she fled the galleries and the gossip, choosing instead the silence of mesas and desert skies.
In the desert, she found something men couldn’t write over: solitude. She climbed into canyons, painted clouds as if they were mountains, and transformed cattle bones into symbols of endurance. To her, the desert wasn’t barren — it was alive, a place where wind carved the same lines into rock as age carved into skin.
But behind the legend was fragility. She struggled with anxiety, bouts of depression, and the shadow of her turbulent marriage to photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who cheated on her but also championed her genius. She often painted through pain, both physical and emotional, channeling it into work that felt raw, defiant, and bigger than herself.
Georgia O’Keeffe’s story isn’t about flowers or fame. It’s about a woman who walked into the desert alone, embraced its emptiness, and returned carrying something the world had never seen before — paintings that made silence roar.
