World Famous Primatologist Coming to San Diego
Tomorrow (March 31) world-renowned primatologist and United Nations Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall will provide the keynote address at the 45th International Conference on Fundraising, after which she will be signing her book Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey, at the San Diego Convention Center.
On Tuesday (April 1), Dr. Goodall will visit the University of California, San Diego for a public tree-planting ceremony, followed by a luncheon to honor UC San Diego’s sustainability initiatives, organizations that have all demonstrated a commitment to the environment and social justice.
If you miss these two special opportunities to see Dr. Goodall in person, she will be back on Thursday, April 17, when she will appear at the Joan B. Kroc Distinguished Lecture Series: “Reason to Hope,” being held at the Jenny Craig Pavilion (at USD). Dr. Goodall will speak on how we can save threatened species, the planet, and ultimately ourselves.
The mission of the Jane Goodall Institute is to advance the power of individuals to take informed and compassionate action to improve the environment for all living things. The Institute is a leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats and is widely recognized for establishing innovative community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa and the Roots & Shoots education program in nearly 100 countries (including those in San Diego).

Dear Ms. Lane,
We came across this story and noticed you gave the wrong link to the Joan B. Distinguished Lecture Series at USD. Please go to our homepage, http://peace.sandiego.edu/ for more information on obtaining tickets. Dr. Goodall will also be available after her lecture to sign books and sell JGI merchandise.
Thank you for noting the change. We look forward to seeing you on the 17th!
In peace,
Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice
