Jane Goodall (1934–2025) advocated ardently for the preservation of the living world right up to the end of her extraordinarily courageous, creative, giving, and enormously influential life. She transformed wildlife studies through her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees, then expanded her conservation efforts to encompass all the planet’s plants and animals. These books recommended by ALA’s Booklist encapsulate Goodall’s legacy in the work of scientists and others deeply inspired and guided by her knowledge, wisdom, and convictions.
