Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the late Dr. Jane Goodall.
Dr. Goodall was a world-renowned primatologist, conservationist and United Nations messenger of peace. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which continues her global mission to protect wildlife and inspire hope. Her groundbreaking discoveries about chimpanzees transformed humanity's understanding of our closest relatives and reminded us of a truth long held by indigenous peoples: that we are not separate from nature but deeply connected to it.
Her life's work sparked a revolution of empathy for animals, for the environment and for each other. In this time of climate crisis and biodiversity loss, her message has never been more urgent. Dr. Goodall gave hope to generations, especially young people, who carry forward a vision of a planet where all creatures are treated with compassion.
May her legacy continue to guide us and may we honour her memory through action to protect the natural world we all share.
