With celebrated primatologist Jane Goodall, this documentary goes around the world to meet the individuals working hard to protect the world’s biodiversity for the future of the planet and the future of mankind.

Born in London in 1934, Jane Goodall spent decades in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, studying the social and family structures of chimpanzees and helping to bring their ecological vulnerability into the public consciousness. She also founded and remains integral to the Jane Goodall Institute, which encourages environmental activism and stewardship among young people. In this program, the famous scientist reflects on her many years spent observing and learning about our primate cousins.

Jane Goodall-Reasons For hope is an uplifting journey with stories to inspire people to make a difference in the world. Three different conservation stories illustrate Jane's pillars of hope.

A two‐year study of one wild dog unit (called the “Genghis pack”) by the animal expert and her colleague/husband, Hugo Van Lawick, who share the narration with Hal Holbrook.
