# World-renowned primatologist and conservationist, Jane Goodall, has passed away at the age of 91. She died due to natural causes in California during a speaking tour in the US. Considered the leading expert on chimpanzees, her career spanned more than 60 years, during which she not only broke barriers for women but also changed the way scientists study animals. The Jane Goodall Institute says Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of the natural world.
