JGI PARTNERS

THE ARCUS FOUNDATION

The Arcus Great Apes Fund sup-

ports conservation efforts that

promote the survival of the great

apes in the wild and sanctuaries

that offer safety and freedom

from invasive research and other

forms of human exploitation. In

2006, the Arcus Foundation

awarded JGI a two-year grant of

$450,000, which has allowed us

to expand our horizons into the

world of public policy. Our new

Public Policy Department is work-

ing to increase US public funding

for great ape conservation in Africa,

Malaysia, and Indonesia, and to

improve legal protection for great

apes in the US.

GOOGLE

With the help of Google Earth, JGI

launched the Gombe Chimpanzee

Blog in January 2006. The blog is

unique because it allows anyone

to experience the wonder of

Gombe through the eyes of the

people who live and work there.

You can “fly” through Gombe

National Park and see houses,

paths, oil palm plantations,

cassava fields, and other

agricultural activity, as well as

track the paths of chimpanzees

and researchers through the

park. This imagery is a powerful

tool to help us visualize the

spatial relationships between the

forest and land use by humans.

Through these images, we gain a

true appreciation for the threats

and challenges we face in

saving Gombe.

The involvement of key partners and supporters around

the world is integral to JGI’s vision and strategy. The

four organizations below have been especially important

this year as we worked to preserve great apes in Africa

through community-centered conservation and other

means, and as we helped youth connect globally and

take action through Roots & Shoots.

DISNEY

In April 2006, the Disney Wildlife

Conservation Fund honored Dr.

Goodall with an award of $100,000

to advance the work of JGI. The

award is presented to global

organizations that promote the study

and protection of the world’s wildlife

and ecosystems. In addition, Disney’s

commitment to youth outreach and

environmental stewardship is reflected

in its ongoing support of JGI’s Roots

& Shoots program. In 2007, Disney

will host the Roots & Shoots National

Youth Leadership Retreat at Disney

World in Orlando, Florida.

USAID

The US Agency for International

Development (USAID) has supported

JGI on numerous projects and has

been integral to the growth of the

Lake Tanganyika Catchment

Reforestation and Education

(TACARE) program in Kigoma region,

Tanzania. In 2006, USAID provided

support for community-centered

conservation, environmental

education, HIV/AIDS testing, and

family-planning initiatives. This

included a grant for increasing

engagement in coastal and marine

conservation among primary and

madrassa school students, as well as

a $1.2-million five-year Cooperative

Grant Agreement that will incorporate

TACARE into a broader framework of

landscape-scale conservation and

planning in the Greater Gombe

Ecosystem in Western Tanzania.

A LETTER FROM JANE

Dear JGI Members & Friends,

Although it doesn’t seem possible, this year wasbusier than last, with almost nonstop travel, whichtook me to five continents. While my schedule isoften exhausting, I am kept going by the prospect ofplanting seeds of change — and hope — wherever Igo. And I am continually inspired by the spirit anddetermination of so many people who are usingtheir lives to make a better world.

Visiting Gombe is always a highlight. During myJune visit, as I was walking to Kasekela Point alongthe beach, I turned a corner and there was Gremlin.My favorite living Gombe chimpanzee. How amazingit was to see her carrying her 1-month-old grandsonGodot. He clung to her belly, while her 3-year-oldson Gimli moved through the trees and bushes orrode on her back. This trio was part of a remarkablebut ultimately sad story, which you can read in theresearch section inside.

After leaving Gombe, I attended a ceremony withthe US Ambassador to Tanzania, Michael Retzer, tolaunch the Greater Gombe Ecosystem Program.This program, supported by the US Agency forInternational Development, expands TACARE’sefforts to create sustainable livelihoods in the region,adding components such as GIS-based land-useplanning with villagers. It is critical to the future ofthe people as well as the chimpanzees of the region.

We also officially opened our beautiful JGIEducation Centre in Kigoma, which will help teachchildren about conservation and sustainable living.Before leaving Kigoma, I visited the Lugufu RefugeeCamp, home to tens of thousands of refugees from

Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Here,membership in Roots & Shoots groups has grownsteadily over the past five years. One successfulproject is the humane raising of chickens. The hensprovide eggs and meat for much-needed protein anda source of income for families. The project alsoteaches children about the nature of animals. (Thereis no history of domestication in their culture.) TheRoots & Shoots youth there twice demonstrated thepower of the Roots & Shoots message (“knowledge,compassion, action”) when they rescued wildanimals they found in the woods instead of killingthem as some other children suggested.

JGI in Tanzania has really taken off. There arenow more than 600 Roots & Shoots groups in thecountry and, thanks to Executive Director PancrasNgalason, we have a wonderful new office near myhouse in Dar es Salaam.

Before leaving Tanzania, I arranged a meetingwith new President Jakaya Kikwete. When the daycame, however, he was so busy it seemed ourmeeting wouldn’t happen. But, as luck would haveit, the president was flying to Arusha that evening —and so was I! He offered me a lift in the presidentialplane, and for over an hour I had the opportunityto talk with him about everything that JGI andRoots & Shoots are doing in Tanzania. He was veryinterested and told me that he planned to putenvironmental protection high on his agenda. (As, indeed, he has.)

“I’m amazed at how much JGI has grown around the world, how many wonderful initiatives have sprung up.

Together, we truly are sowing seeds of hope.”

I had an unforgettable experience in January2006, when I was awarded France’s Légiond’honneur and UNESCO’s 60th Anniversary GoldMedal Award — on the same amazing day! I hadthe opportunity to discuss JGI’s programs both withthe Director-General of UNESCO, Mr. KoïchiroMatsuura, and with the then Prime Minister ofFrance, Dominique de Villepin.

During a visit in March to our TchimpoungaSanctuary for orphaned chimpanzees, I saw oldGregoire and his companion LaVielle. Gregoirelooks incredibly fit for an old man of 63 — especiallygiven his hard life! And LaVielle is finally enjoyingher garden. For two years after we rescued her, sherefused to step off concrete. We shall never knowwhat horrors she endured in her earlier captivity. AsI sat on the ground beside her, she playfully handedme little pieces of grass, leaves, even earth. Andthere was one beautiful moment when I held outmy hand and she reached out and touched myfingers. Sanctuary Manager Rebecca Atencia,Fernando Turmo, and I discussed our plans toenlarge the reserve and find a suitable place toreintroduce some of the chimpanzees into the wild.

My North American tours were hectic as always.In Orlando, Florida, I received an award of$100,000 from the Disney Wildlife ConservationFund for our conservation work; in Chicago,Illinois, I met with our newest regional Roots &Shoots coordinator; and in Danbury, Connecticut, I attended a truly inspirational R&S CollegeSummit. Then there was a meeting with Googleand Google Earth that was absolutely fascinating.For the first time, I was introduced to our Gombeblog, and we had a brainstorming session withGoogle.org, a foundation that helps environmentaland social causes.

At the International Primatological Societyannual meeting in Uganda, I met many old friendsfrom the primate research community. There werefascinating presentations by researchers from aroundthe world. At the concluding banquet, I inauguratedthe first “primate karaoke.” I had ended my talkwith a rousing chimpanzee call, in which I wasjoined by other chimpanzee folk. I then persuadedthose studying other primates to come to the mikeand imitate the calls of their study animals. It waswonderful. There were pant-hoots, roars, grunts,and songs of orangutans, gorillas, gibbons, howlermonkeys, baboons, and others!

My year ended with a four-week tour in Asiaduring which I visited JGI and R&S projects inJapan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, andSingapore. In South Korea, I spoke at a receptionhonoring Ban Ki-moon, the new Secretary-Generalof the United Nations, and had the opportunity totell him about the ways in which Roots & Shoots isspreading seeds of global peace and about ourefforts to support the UN International Peace Daywith our Giant Peace Doves.

Throughout the year, there were so many otherevents, meetings, lectures, interviews, andconferences — there simply isn’t space to mentionmore than a few. When I think back over the year,I’m amazed at how much JGI has grown around theworld, how many wonderful initiatives have sprungup. Together, we truly are sowing seeds of hope,moving towards a sustainable future for ourchildren. And none of it would be possible withoutyour support and help. I thank you from the depthsof my heart.

With my love,

Jane Goodall

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTA LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

I wish you could see from myvantage point the incrediblegrowth of the Jane GoodallInstitute in 2006. In programreach, staff capacity, and

public recognition, we are on the move, workingever more effectively and in new arenas in Africaand the US.

Our growing global network of partners andsupporters is one sign of our momentum. OnOctober 31, I joined Michael Retzer, the USAmbassador to Tanzania, Professor MarkMwandosya, Tanzania’s Environment Minister,and Mufti Issa Shaaban bin Simba, Tanzania’schief Muslim religious leader, at a ceremony tolaunch a major Roots & Shoots initiative. TheUSAID-funded program is engaging 26,000children in coastal conservation and reachingsome 440 schools in coastal districts of Tanzania,including 220 madrassas — schools that providereligious education to Muslim children.

Minister Mwandosya had recently returnedfrom visiting our TACARE projects in theKigoma Region of Western Tanzania. In hisspeech he lauded our work and suggested weexpand throughout the country. Mufti binSimba was also encouraging. “I am very pleasedto work with the Jane Goodall Institute,” he said.“The Koran contains many passages thatencourage us to take care of our environment,and so I welcome the opportunity to emphasizethese messages.”

As we sat together on the dais watching theboys and girls from public schools and madrassassinging about saving the oceans, I was struck byhow lucky we were to be part of an organizationthat could bring together so many differentcultures, religions, and political leaders in ashared effort to improve our environment.

One goal of our programs in Africa is to helpcommunities, especially those near chimpanzeehabitat, support themselves without cutting downtrees or hunting wildlife. JGI provides technicalsupport to farmers in villages around Gombe tohelp them improve their cultivation of crops such ascoffee and palm oil. Now we are helping thesefarmers to export their crops to the US. With ourassistance, a cooperative of 2,700 farmers fromKalinzi Village near Gombe sold more than 58,000pounds of their premium coffee to US roasters,including Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Thefarmers received record prices for their beans. In thefuture, we hope to work with the farmers to create aleafy corridor that will give the Gombe chimpanzeesaccess to critical habitat from which they’ve been cutoff by deforestation. It is a perfect example of theways in which we can use the connections betweenpeople, animals, and the environment to benefit all.

On page 12, you’ll see a map highlighting theseprojects and other Roots & Shoots and community-centered conservation projects in Africa. I hopeyou’ll be as excited as we are to see the significantgrowth in our activities and the ways in which we are partnering with individuals and otherorganizations to achieve Dr. Goodall’s vision of hope.

Sincerely,

Bill JohnstonPresident

JGI Chimpanzee Work

JGI’s work on behalf of chimpanzees reflects the

interconnectedness of people, animals, and the environment.

It incorporates field research, which not only adds to our

knowledge of chimpanzees but informs conservation efforts.

It also includes biodiversity education and training, and

rehabilitation of chimpanzees orphaned by the commercial

bushmeat trade.

Since Jane Goodall began her research

47 years ago, Gombe has become a hub

for scientific study.

P R O G R A M H I G H L I G H T:

Gombe Stream

Research Center

At the Gombe Stream Research Center inTanzania, site of Jane Goodall’s groundbreakingand historic research, ongoing field studiesinform new theories about chimpanzee biologyand behavior, and also provide data vital toeffective conservation strategies.

JGI’s Gombe researchers continue Dr.Goodall’s long-term study of the chimpanzeecommunities living in the park. They further ourunderstanding of chimpanzees with data relatedto diet, range use, intergroup aggression, health,and other areas of inquiry, much of which is vitalto efforts to preserve chimpanzee populations inGombe and throughout Africa.

Visiting researchers conduct both basic andapplied research, exploring areas such as therelationship between fathers and offspring,female foraging strategies and range use, andintergroup aggression. Last year, the GombeStream Research Center experienced a first whenit hosted a philosophy student — York University’sMaria Botero, who was investigating theemotional bond between mothers and infants.

One critical study at Gombe is that of Dr.Beatrice Hahn of the University of Alabama. Herinternationally recognized research is seeking tounderstand the natural history of HIV bylooking at factors causing transmission of theclosely related simian immunodeficiency virus(chimpanzee strain – SIVcpz).

E X T E N S I V E O U T P U T

The breadth and significance of Gombe researchwas made clear in June 2006 at the 21stCongress of the International PrimatologicalSociety in Entebbe, Uganda. Dr. Goodall gavethe plenary talk and 17 Gombe researchersparticipated. In addition, more than 20 otherswho had been visiting researchers at Gombe

attended the conference or were listed as authors.Of the 589 oral and poster presentations, at least 26were related to Gombe research — almost 5 percentof all presentations.

The Gombe presentations covered topics such as cognition, health monitoring, parasitology,genetics, intergroup aggression, demography, socialbehavior, medicinal plants, and ecology. The scale ofwork ranged from molecular genetics to satelliteimagery, and included work on five primate species— chimpanzees, olive baboons, red-tailed monkeys,blue monkeys, and humans.

G O M B E C H I M PA N Z E E B L O G

It is the behavioral research at Gombe that mostcaptures popular imagination and encouragesindividual action on behalf of chimpanzees. JGI’sefforts to capitalize on this interest for the benefit of chimpanzees made great strides in 2006 with theinauguration of our Gombe Chimpanzee Blog. JGIwas the first to create a Google “geoblog,” or weblogthat uses Google Earth’s gorgeous spinning globe as

This meant any ofGoogle Earth’s 100 million users could zoom downinto the lush canopy of trees in Gombe to read thedaily updates about the park’s famous chimpanzeesand experience resolution fine enough to seelandmarks such as the few buildings in the park.

Praise for the blog came from many quarters,including Google CEO Eric Schmidt in TheEconomist, who said, “Take a look at environmentalchampion Jane Goodall’s blog. She has used GoogleEarth to give people keener views and insights intothe nature of nature.”

Most important, the blog and its fascinatingentries by researcher Emily Wroblewski give usunprecedented virtual access to life at Gombe, verymuch in the tradition of Jane herself — who firstopened that window for the world in the 1960swith her book, In the Shadow of Man.

ABOVE:GREMLIN ASSUMED CARE OF HER INFANT GRANDSON,A BEHAVIOR NEVER BEFORE OBSERVED AT GOMBE.

Chimpanzee Gremlin’s unusual behavior is another

demonstration of how much more there is to learn

about chimpanzees.

G O M B E N E W S:

The Sad Story

of Godot

Since 1960, when Jane Goodall first shared herobservations of chimpanzees making and usingtools, research at Gombe National Park inTanzania has often revealed surprising newbehaviors. Certainly, reports in the 1970s ofcannibalism and organized “warfare” among theGombe chimpanzees were disturbing andunexpected. Last year, the Gombe researcherssurprised us yet again with the news thatGremlin — that wonderfully skilled mother andJane’s favorite living chimpanzee — confiscatedher infant grandson.

Gremlin took the newborn Godot from herdaughter Gaia within 48 hours of his birth,quickly treating him as her own, nursing, playingwith, and nesting with him. Gombe researcherscan only speculate about this unprecedentedbehavior. Gremlin may have sought to protectGodot from females who tried to seize her ownnewborns in the past, presumably to kill andcannibalize them. Perhaps Gremlin thought Gaia an unfit mother.

Quite possibly, Gremlinwanted another set of twins.She had successfully raisedGombe’s famous twins, Goldenand Glitter, now nine. WhenGodot was born, Gremlin wasstill nursing Gimli. After“adopting” Godot, she suckledboth males, and this time, when traveling, it was Gimli who rode on her back while Godot clung underneath.

Unfortunately, this chapter in the life ofGombe’s chimpanzees did not end happily forGodot. He was bright-eyed and alert, but alsosmall and weak. One day at about five monthsold, he loosened his grip on his grandmother,closed his eyes, and simply did not awake.

Gombe researcher Mike Wilson says that it’spossible Godot was vulnerable to disease because hemissed some or all of Gaia’s colostrum fluid. He alsopointed out one bright spot: As a young female,Gaia is almost sure to conceive again.

Tragic as the outcome was, the event points to thevalue of long-term research. The painstakingaccumulation of long-term data not only providesinvaluable information about chimpanzee biology

One day at about five months old, he loosened his grip on his grandmother,

and behavior, but it is the only way to consistentlyuncover rare or once-in-a-lifetime behaviors.“Godot’s fate is so sad,” says Dr. Goodall, “but it’swonderful that, even after 47 years of beingobserved every day, the Gombe chimpanzeescontinue to surprise us.”

In the heart of the illegal bushmeat trade,

a traumatized chimpanzee gets a second chance.


Tchimpounga Chimpanzee

Rehabilitation Center

Every year in Africa, many chimpanzees arekilled for food. When a mother is shot, herinfant is likely to be sold in the market or on theroadside, or kept as a pet to attract visitors to a bar. When authorities find these traumatizedorphans, they turn them over to sanctuaries,including JGI’s Tchimpounga ChimpanzeeRehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congo.Situated in the heart of the Congo Basin’s illegalcommercial bushmeat trade, Tchimpounga is the largest chimpanzee sanctuary in Africa, withmore than 130 chimpanzees.

Although each chimpanzee is unique, eachsanctuary arrival has a similar story. Each haswitnessed the death of his or her mother. Each istraumatized, dehydrated, often wounded,

sometimes close to death. One recent arrival,Kauka, was no more than six months old when LisaPharaoh, JGI-Congo Interim Country Coordinator,received a call that a baby had been confiscatedfrom a poacher and was at the Brazzaville Zoo. (The zoo didn’t have the resources or veterinaryexpertise to care for a sick infant.) He was sufferingfrom respiratory problems, fever, diarrhea, intestinalparasites, lice, malnourishment, and dehydration.He needed immediate intervention.

After Lisa rushed to retrieve him, SanctuaryManager and veterinarian Rebecca Atencia beganthe difficult task of restoring Kauka to health.Because he was so sick, he refused to eat or drink.Even when he did take food in his mouth he justspat it out. But the staff was determined to save thislittle life. Kauka’s recovery meant several sleepless

days and nights for staff! Thankfully, within threedays of receiving antibiotics and other medicine, hebegan to vocalize, play, and, most important, take abottle. “He began to act like a baby chimpanzeeshould,” says Lisa. Because he had been sodehydrated, the Tchimpounga caregivers decided toname him “Kauka,” which means “dry” in the locallanguage, Monokotuba.

Today, Kauka thrives. He much prefers thecompany of other chimpanzees to human caregivers,as a chimpanzee should. His group includes infantsLufino, Ulenge, Zimbanna, and an 8-year-old,Vichika, who did not fit in well with olderchimpanzees but flourishes as a “mother” to theinfant group.

In the end, these other chimpanzees will be themost important aspect of Kauka’s recovery. Havingan established social group is critical to the welfare of any chimpanzee. For the orphans at Tchimpounga, who have lost their entire families, this opportunityto bond with other chimpanzees is perhaps thegreatest “gift” their loving and conscientiouscaretakers can offer.

Even when he did take food in his mouthhe just spat it out. But the staff was

determined to save this little life.

In Western Tanzania, village banks boost

income for women.

S U C C E S S S TO RY:

TACARE

Microcredit Program

At one time, Gefruda Damian’s only income came from thetomatoes she sold out of a bucket in the central square of hervillage, Mukigo, high in the mountains of Tanzania’s Kigomaregion, bordering Burundi.

In 2000, the Institute’s TACARE (Lake TanganyikaCatchment Reforestation and Education) program came toMukigo to discuss a savings-and-credit program it had begunin partnership with area villages the previous year. TheTACARE staff explained that they would support residents inpooling savings to create a fund from which they would issueloans to support sustainable small businesses and agriculture.

Gefruda and other Mukigo residents agreed to pool savingstowards a goal of $15 USD each (or about 17,000 Tanzanianshillings), which would be matched by TACARE. The Mukigovillage bank was born.

With significant support from the US Agency forInternational Development and JGI-Canada, TACAREencourages microcredit in the region because lack of access tocapital is a huge challenge for the rural families here. Thecreation of small businesses not only improves quality of life,but helps promote sustainability by reducing slash-and-burnfarming and overreliance on already depleted natural resources.The program also provides village microcredit groups withtraining in accounting and administration.

With her loan of 50,000TSh, Gefruda bought tomatoeswholesale. Within 12 months, she’d increased her incometwofold. With subsequent loans, she expanded her inventoryand now has a small shop from which she sells flour, sugar, andclothes. Each of her three children old enough for secondaryschool is attending, now that she can afford to pay school anduniform fees. She says she is better able to care for her family’sdietary and health needs as well.

The Mukigo group started with 35 members but quicklygrew to 57, mostly women. Many started businesses in foodsales, sustainable timber, or vegetable and coffee farming.TACARE has supported 12 microcredit groups throughoutKigoma, with an average repayment rate of 88 percent.Mukigo’s repayment rate is even higher at 97 percent.

The experiences of womensuch as Gefruda demonstratenot only the livelihoodadvantages of small-scale savingsand loan programs, but thatwomen also improve their status

A new line of coffee benefits Tanzanian farmers

and Jane’s famous chimpanzees.


Gombe Reserve

Coffee

In Jane Goodall’s In the Shadow of Man, shedescribes her daily routine while living andworking in Gombe National Park, “My alarmclock was always set for five-thirty in themorning, and after a slice of bread and a cup ofcoffee I would hurry off after my chimps.”

Three of Jane’s loves — coffee, chimpanzees,and Africa — are now tangibly linked in a coffeethat tastes good and does good: Green MountainCoffee Roasters’ “Gombe Reserve — InCooperation with the Jane Goodall Institute.”

Those who purchase this high-quality coffeeare supporting cultivation of a sustainable,chimpanzee-friendly crop grown by farmers inthe impoverished Kigoma region of westernTanzania. The coffee is shade-grown (meaningtrees aren’t cut down). What’s more, becausechimpanzees don’t like coffee beans, they don’t raid the fields, thus avoiding human-wildlife conflict — an increasing, life-threateningproblem in areas where human and wildlife livein proximity.

JGI hopes the partnership with Kigoma coffeegrowers, as an ongoing part of the TACAREprogram, will result in a new leafy corridorconnecting vital habitats from which the Gombechimpanzees have been cut off due todeforestation. The corridor will allow thechimpanzees to expand their feeding range andmingle with other chimpanzee groups, which isvital for genetic diversity and disease resistance.

Traditionally, coffee from the Kigoma regionwas sold at auction and blended with coffeesfrom better-known regions. By connecting the2,700 small-scale farmers in Kigoma’s KalinziCooperative with specialty coffee roasters such asGreen Mountain, and introducing new quality-control and production methods, JGI is helping

the farmers significantly boost their income. JGI’sassistance includes sending farmers to training incoffee husbandry, and extension services focused onbetter harvesting, pulping, and drying practices, andproper storage.

All of this gives farmers an incentive to work withJGI in the future to set aside land for the chimpanzees.If key villages reserve 10 to 20 percent of their land,there will be a multivillage forest reserve providingadditional habitat to chimpanzees and connectingGombe National Park to forest reserves in Burundi.

“Our effort to involve local citizens in restoringthe forests and practicing sustainable agriculture isthe most important work we can do to ensure afuture for the Gombe chimpanzees and the peopleof Africa,” says Jane.

In villages around Gombe, JGI and partners bring

HIV/AIDS services to the people.


HIV/AIDS Voluntary

Counseling and Testing

In the impoverished Kigoma region ofWestern Tanzania, HIV/AIDS infection is ofgrowing concern. Much of the community lacksawareness about how the disease is transmitted,and there is a relatively low reliance on condoms— the only means of prevention besidesabstinence. Many fishermen travel the coast ofLake Tanganyika in pursuit of the sardine-likefish known as dagaa; they spend weeks awayfrom home and, as a result, often put themselvesand, when they return, their wives at risk.

The terrifying stigma associated with thedisease in villages prevents people from seekingtesting and even treatment once ill. In addition,many can’t spare the resources to travel to townfor testing. Explained Emmanuel Mtiti, head of JGI’s Greater Gombe Ecosystem Program(GGE), “What family can take their money and, instead of buying school uniforms, use thatfor testing?”

So Mtiti and his staff decided to bringvoluntary counseling and testing to the villages. In partnership with the Kigoma Regional Hospitaland with support from the US President’sEmergency Plan for AIDS Relief, testing wasprovided to individuals close to their homes, alongwith counseling on critical topics such as diseasetransmission, prevention, and living with HIVand AIDS.

Those tested receive instant results, reducing the anguish of waiting for news. If results arepositive, individuals receive immediate confidentialcounseling and funds to travel to the local hospitalfor further diagnosis and treatment. Project fundingalso covers travel and accommodation to receivelife-prolonging anti-retroviral drugs. To date, theinitiative is supporting drug therapy access for 76individuals in the Kigoma region, 51 identifiedthrough mobile testing.

Given the problem of stigma, Mtiti expected alow turnout during the first testing. Perhaps five orsix of the “risk-takers” in each community would betested. To the staff ’s surprise, in many of the 24villages served by the program, 100 or more peopleshowed up. “The mobile units ran out of testingmaterials,” he said.

JGI006_AR_dm03 7/5/07 5:59 PM Page 20


The testers are finding an average 2 percentinfection rate, which indicates that they began earlyenough to focus on prevention with greater efficacy.“Any rate of infection that is greater than zero is toohigh,” said Mtiti at the end of 2006, “but 2 percentmeans we can make a real difference.”

Two exciting new programs use the forest as

a living classroom.


Environmental Education

and Eco-Tourism in Uganda

To the cadence of clapping, 12 squealingstudents skip around hula hoops arranged onthe forest floor. It’s musical chairs, with a twist:Each time the clapping stops, there’s one lesshula hoop. The kids jostle, accommodatingthemselves to the disappearing spaces bywedging themselves, tighter and tighter, into theshrinking area.

Child’s play, perhaps. But the take-homelesson — about forest destruction and habitatloss — is as clear to a 10-year-old girl who, until now, has never set foot in a forest, as it iseye-opening to a teenage boy who previouslyviewed trees as little more than firewood andconstruction material.

This is the kind of game that thousands ofstudents play at JGI’s Kalinzu and BudongoForest Reserve environmental educationprograms in western Uganda. JGI builtBudongo in 2006 with funding from DisneyAnimal Kingdom and the US Agency forInternational Development mission in Uganda.They are two of four JGI education centersplanned within major forest habitats forchimpanzees.

The education centers teach environmentallessons that are meant to complement the corecurriculum in Uganda’s schools.

Chimpanzees are distributed in 18 districts inUganda. JGI’s goal is to reach all 6,000 primaryschools within those districts over the next fiveyears through new curriculum taught in theclassroom and through field trips to the forest-based education centers.

“I grew up in Nairobi, a city, and I didn’t gointo the forest as a young person,” says AliceMacharia, Program Coordinator for JGI AfricaPrograms. “These students are similar. They

either don’t go into the forest or they’re going in tocut down trees or kill animals.”

The education centers help correct misinformationand taboos surrounding chimpanzees and theirhabitats by convincing young people of the value ofall living things and the need to preserve wildlife,including chimpanzees.

Each forest visit — a dozen students at a time —helps to shape a generation of engaged citizens andenvironmental leaders. Those who understand andembrace environmental issues such as theconservation of great apes will be motivated to takedirect action to improve the world around them.

“One of the things they talk about is whatactions they can take to help the environment,”Macharia says. “Parents report noticing a betterenvironmental ethic in their kids after they comehome from having walks in the forest.”

Another way in which JGI helps to develop alarger conservation ethic is through an eco-tourismproject, also in the Budongo Forest Reserve. Itinvolves habituating wild chimpanzees to thepresence of humans to ensure an optimal number ofsightings when tourists pay to see the chimpanzees.

JGI trains community staff members to followthe chimpanzees daily from dawn until dark, notonly to habituate the chimpanzees but to get toknow them as individuals. This allows them todiscuss individual chimpanzees and share storiesabout them with visitors. Of course the programrequires guides to have health checkups and alwaysstay at least 30 feet away from the chimpanzees toreduce any risk of disease transmission.

The initiative is modeled after a successful JGIeffort in Kibale National Park, an extensive parkthat hosts a large primate population. Since it beganin 1999, this project has seen significant results: Thepercentage of visitors who saw chimpanzees duringtheir walks increased from 60 to 85 percent.

In the competition with humans for food, chimpanzees do not

come out on top. But it doesn’t have to be that way.


Chimpanzee Conservation

and Sensitization Program

On a hike through his rice farm in the southof Guinea, near the Sierra Leone border,Mamadou Waré Diallo points to some orangetrees he bought as seedlings and planted aroundhis home. “The chimpanzees are always robbingthe fruit. If I protect the chimpanzees, will thatmean my family won’t have enough to eat? Whyshould I protect them?”

That is a common sentiment. “People don’twant to kill the chimpanzees,” says Jim Tolisano,

JGI’s Eco-development/Conservation Specialistin Guinea and Sierra Leone. “But they have theirown issues. They don’t wake up thinking: ‘Whatcan I do to protect chimps today?’”

In the competition with humans for food,chimpanzees do not come out on top. But itdoesn’t have to be a win-lose game, which is whyJGI works in this region to promote chimpanzeeconservation and sustainable communitydevelopment. Because the most viable solutionstend to come from communities, JGI trainsindividuals such as Mr. Diallo to serve as “para-biologists” who help develop economicalternatives to slash-and-burn agriculture andpoaching, the two biggest threats tochimpanzees.

The para-biologist training is one of the mostsignificant achievements of JGI’s ChimpanzeeConservation and Sensitization Program(CCSP), a two-year initiative in Guinea andSierra Leone that seeks to protect chimpanzeesand their habitat through education,community-based eco-development, and lawenforcement initiatives. JGI works in this border

region because it is an area of critical biodiversitywhere fragmentation threatens the corridorschimpanzee groups require to intermingle. Theproject is funded by the US Agency forInternational Development.

The grizzled Mr. Diallo is a colorful figure in his community, known locally to be somewherebetween 60 and . . . 200 years of age. He is apt tolaunch into standing back-flips during conversationsabout chimp conservation. He has had plenty of

opportunity to learn to imitate the gymnastics ofour closest cousins — his property, cut through by ariver, harbors a significant population of wildchimpanzees.

“We found dozens of nests and signs of chimpswhen we hiked his property,” recalls Tolisano, whosuspects that this area may be one of the mostcritical strongholds of wild chimpanzee populationsin all of Western Africa.

“It is really worth doing all we can to help thelocal communities figure out how to co-exist withthe chimpanzees,” he says.

For chimpanzee conservation to become widelyaccepted in these communities, it must become abyproduct of poverty alleviation, Tolisano says. “Weneed to create opportunities for them to protect thechimpanzees. That’s where the eco-developmentapproach comes in. We want the para-biologists totake on leadership roles in their rural communities.”

The first step in para-biologist training is toinventory everything in nature that has value, anddetermine how abundant it is and where it is declining,and how it’s used and in what amount. With thatinformation, the para-biologists begin, with the helpof JGI, to put together eco-development plans.

"It is really worth doing all we can to help the local communities figure out how to co-exist with the chimpanzees…”

Some communities areinterested in developing tourismthat would incorporate thechimpanzees. Others are lookinginto marketing specialty crops,medicinal plants, and aromaticsthat can be sustainably harvestedfrom the forest.

“We’re training them in smallbusiness development skills,”Tolisano adds. “They’re veryexcited to learn how to price andmarket.”

“The para-biologist training iskey to our efforts to enhance thevillagers’ natural resourcemanagement capacities,” saysMarie-Claude Gauthier, ProgramDirector. “The villagersappreciate and value the trainingbecause it improves theirunderstanding of their ownenvironment while respecting thecultural and traditional value theyplace upon resources.”

The training is just one of theways JGI raises awareness aboutthe plight of chimpanzees andchanges attitudes in the Guinea-Sierra Leone border region. Alarger awareness strategy hingeson public education not onlyabout chimpanzee social behaviorand chimpanzees’ relationships tohumans but also about the law asit relates to the great apes.

In Tanzania, nurturing a generation committed to coastal conservation.


Roots & Shoots-Tanzania

Environmental Education

Tanzania is rich in coastal and marine resources,including coral reefs, mangrove forests, and alarge variety of fish species. But pollution andcommercial activities, such as blast fishing withdynamite and mining coral reefs for lime,threaten its fragile coastal and marine ecosystems.

A new Roots & Shoots project supported bythe US Agency for International Developmentaims to create greater awareness of theseproblems and inspire action on the part ofTanzanian youth. The Environmental Education(EE) Program is the first in Tanzania dedicatedto engaging youth in coastal conservation. It isunique in another important aspect as well: Itengages both public school students and thosewho attend madrassas (Islamic schools that offerreligious instruction based on the Holy Koran)and is thereby designed to help further culturalunderstanding.

To help nurture a new generation of futureleaders committed to environmental education,

the Roots & Shoots EE Program relies heavily onhands-on learning and encourages youth to makedecisions about how to solve coastal problems.Students study coastal conservation issues intheir communities and then, under the guidanceof a teacher, take action through service projectsof their own design. These projects might rangefrom a beach cleanup to an awareness campaignon overfishing.

Over the next two years, the Roots & ShootsEnvironmental Education Program will reach12,650 primary school students and 12,650

madrassa students. Some 440 teachers — 220primary school and 220 madrassa teachers — arebeing trained in coastal and marineenvironmental education, and techniques forsharing this information with other teachers andsupporting the youth action. Madrassa trainingfocuses on how teachings in the Holy Koranrelate to environmental issues.

Roots & Shoots Tchimpounga

Youth Campaign

Like many 8-year-olds, Brandon Smith lovesanimals and watches a lot of the Animal Planetchannel. The death of “Crocodile Hunter” SteveIrwin from a freak stingray attack in 2006 hitBrandon hard. “He was very sad,” says Brandon’smom Jennifer. “And he decided he needed totake action to help animals now that Steve Irwinis gone.”

Through the Roots & Shoots website,Brandon learned about a youth-designedfundraising campaign to help build a newdormitory for orphaned chimpanzees at JGI’sTchimpounga Chimpanzee RehabilitationCenter in Congo, Africa’s largest ape sanctuary.

Brandon has Asperger’s Syndrome, a form ofautism. Normally, it is difficult for him to planand organize tasks, but this time, it was noproblem at all. He decided to speak to fraternityand sorority students at nearby Eastern IllinoisUniversity about the dormitory campaign andthe illegal commercial bushmeat trade in Africa,which is endangering chimpanzees and creatingso many orphans. The college students werehappy to hear him out. “Brandon can strugglewith one-on-one communication, and yet he wasable to hold his own when it came to answeringquestions from the students,” says his mother. “Ican’t offer an explanation for this, except herealized the importance of his work.”

Brandon dressed in a khaki safari outfit andpassed around a “Chimp Change” jar. “I wantedto raise a hundred million dollars at first,”Brandon says, “but my mom said to try to get$100. I ended up with $329.46, which is pretty

good. I wanted to help the chimpanzees so that they could have a second chance at life.”

This is the kind of touching story Roots &Shoots hears many times over — a young person isempowered to act on a natural passion to help makea better world, and grows in the process. “I haveAsperger’s and it makes me smart about animals andable to help them,” says Brandon. “I learned thereare wonderful parts about having Asperger’s.Everyone has gifts from God and can use those gifts to help.”

Brandon’s success in raising funds forTchimpounga was repeated around the world.Through bake sales, craft fairs, raffles, and other

creative fundraisers, Roots & Shoots groups andindividual members raised $53,000, $17,000 ofwhich was a matching gift by an anonymous donor.Today, the new dormitory at Tchimpounga is beingconstructed. Says Roots & Shoots Youth LeadershipFellow Chase Pickering, who spearheaded theTchimpounga Youth Campaign with othermembers of the Youth Leadership Council,“Hundreds of young people stepped up to aleadership role and took action to help theorphaned chimpanzees.

“Young people already have the desire forchange,” says Jeanne McCarty, Vice President ofRoots & Shoots. “They believe in the power ofindividual action; they just need tools and support.”

The tools and support Roots & Shoots providesinclude staff members based at regional officesthroughout the country and a website launched in2006 that seeks to engage youth with each otherand with the Roots & Shoots staff. (See photo at right.)

supply to the critically endangered scavengers. In recent years the populations of white-rumpedand slender-billed vultures have rapidly declinedacross the Indian subcontinent. One major cause is the veterinary drug diclofenac, whichveterinarians use as a painkiller in buffalo andother working animals, but which causes kidneyfailure in vultures that eat the tainted carcasses.

As members of the Jane Goodall Institute’sglobal youth program Roots & Shoots, the

Roots & Shoots Nepal group was charged with studying localproblems and developing creative,compassionate solutions. Underthe guidance of 20-year-old R&Scoordinator Manoj Gautam, they decided to haul cleancarcasses to underdeveloped areaswhere vultures can feedundisturbed. They work withlocal youth in Nawalparasi — atown not far from Kathmandu —to gather the carcasses of cowsand other animals that are free of diclofenac.

They are also working to seelaws passed banning the use ofthe harmful drug and to raiseawareness of the problem in localcommunities. Specific messagesinclude urging people to burytainted carcasses instead ofdumping them where vultures

can find them and urging vets to find a less toxic replacementfor diclofenac.

“We are determined tocontinue with this project until the use of diclofenac iscompletely stopped and the safety of vultures is ensured,” says Gautam.

“In recent years the populations of white-rumped and slender-billedvultures have rapidly declined across the Indian subcontinent.”

Roots & Shoots:

Compassion in Action

Thousands of pencils, personally delivered,summed up the bountiful energy and spirit of a group of Roots & Shoots youth who wanted to ensure rural Tanzanian students could get the most out of a new conservationeducation program.

When youth leaders of JGI’s global Roots &Shoots program discovered that students inTanzania didn’t have pencils to fill out bookletsconnected to the new program, they took quickaction, holding pencil drives all over the US.

They collected a mountain of pencils —21,000 in all. The pencils made quite a sightwhen they were stored in the small R&S regionaloffice in California.

The students brought the pencils to Africa aspart of a life-changing cultural exchange inTanzania. The group of nine US students metfellow Roots & Shoots members, participated intree-planting and other service projects, and,most important, brainstormed with theirTanzanian counterparts about how to strengthenand enhance communication among Roots &

Shoots groups internationally. “We want toconnect youth globally so they inspire each other,learn from each other, and are a part of somethingbigger,” explains Jeanne McCarty, Vice President of Roots & Shoots.

The youth leaders also reinforced a newpartnership between Roots & Shoots and Nature for Kids, an educational nonprofit begun in Africain 2002. The partnership involves a four-yearmobile video and discussion project designed toteach rural children about wildlife, the naturalworld, and particularly conservation. Three times a year the project sends educators with a mobilevideo unit to 76 of the most disadvantaged schools and rural communities in the Arusha andManyara regions.

The project will eventually reach nearly 18,000 students aged seven to thirteen, who nowhave the pencils they need to complete programlessons designed to help them assimilate whatthey’ve learned.

Jane Goodall:

The Woman Who Redefined Man

After editing two of Dr. Goodall’s volumes ofletters, science writer Dale Peterson released JaneGoodall: The Woman Who Redefined Man, thefirst complete authorized biography. It provides adetailed account of Jane’s childhood adventures— including her early fascination with natureand animals — discoveries at Gombe, and hertireless efforts today as an environmentalist andhumanitarian.

Mr. Peterson’s biography of Dr. Goodall takesreaders on a journey alongside the woman whorevolutionized primate studies and also providesthe most revealing look at Jane’s life to date. Aportrayal of courage, inner strength, and, most ofall, hope, it complements Dr. Goodall’s owntireless and determined efforts to deliver hermessage: Every individual has a purpose andmakes a difference.

Lynn Hamilton of America’s Book Review saidof the book, “The lessons of Goodall’s life willcheer spiritual thinkers, rally animal rightsactivists, affirm wilderness conservationists, andwalk alongside young women incubating theirown hopes and dreams.”

Jane Goodall’s Heroes

Five remarkable individuals whose work inspiredDr. Goodall were featured in a moving special fromAnimal Planet, Jane Goodall’s Heroes. Ordinarypeople who have dedicated themselves to making apositive impact in the lives of animals, they share apassion for conservation and an intense dedicationto their work.

They come from diverse backgrounds. WashoShadowhawk is a 15-year-old whose home inOregon is a sanctuary where he works with localvets to rehabilitate injured wildlife. Samuel Hung ofHong Kong has devoted his life to studying andhelping the endangered Chinese white dolphin.George Archibal is the co-founder of theInternational Crane Foundation and thus can oftenbe found in an ultralight plane. Tom Mangelsen is arenowned wildlife photographer and JGI AdvisoryBoard member who recently founded the CougarFund. Juan Carlos Antezana runs Bolivia’s Inti WaraYassi sanctuary, originally for street children butexpanded to rehabilitate Amazonian wildlife such aspumas, jaguars, and monkeys.

“These five individuals show that, regardless ofage or what type or size of the project we take on,we can each make a difference for all living things,”says Dr. Goodall.

J G I -U S A

Financial Report — 2006

In 2006, JGI continued to grow rapidly, with total unrestricted revenue reaching $15.9

million, the highest in the Institute’s history. Driven by bequest income, growth in private

and government grants, and record individual contributions, JGI recorded total revenue

of $17.7 million, including restricted grants.

In 2006, JGI continued to grow rapidly, withtotal unrestricted revenue reaching $15.9million, the highest in the Institute’s history.Driven by bequest income, growth in private andgovernment grants, and record individualcontributions, JGI recorded total revenue of$17.7 million, including restricted grants.

Investment income, including interest anddividends, totaled $628,000 in 2006. Totalexpenses reached nearly $10 million, leaving anunrestricted surplus of $6.2 million. This surplusallowed the Institute to build its cash andinvested reserves to $12.5 million at year end, a$5.6 million increase from the previous year.

Grants from government agencies and privatefoundations increased substantially. Grantcommitments for the year totaled over $3million, including $2 million in governmentgrants and $991,000 in private foundationgrants. Since many of these are multi-year grants,the Institute’s restricted net assets grew by nearly$2 million, from $723,000 in 2005 to $2.5million in December 2006.

The Institute’s balance sheet continued togrow stronger. In addition to the $12.5 millionin cash and investments, grants-receivableincreased from $756,000 in 2005 to $1.9million in 2006. Total liabilities decreased from$1.6 million in 2005 to $586,000 in 2006.Together, these changes led to total net assetsequaling $15.3 million, up from $7.3 million inthe previous year.

Roots & Shoots began its strategic expansionin the United States with two generous multi-year grants. The Allene & Jerome Lapides

Foundation awarded JGI a three-year grant toestablish a Roots & Shoots program in the “FourCorners” region of United States. A Roots & Shootsoffice in Sante Fe, New Mexico will oversee theexpansion of the program in New Mexico, Arizona,Colorado and Utah. Separately, the RegensteinFoundation funded a three-year grant. Based inChicago, the Foundation enabled the Institute toestablish an office in Illinois, which has the primarytask of expanding Roots & Shoots in Chicago andthe Great Lakes region.

Thanks to a multi-year grant from US Agency forInternational Development (USAID), Roots &Shoots in Tanzania expanded into six regions alongthe country’s east coast. There Roots & Shoots isoverseeing an Environmental Education Programreaching both public school and Islamic madrassastudents. USAID also continues to support ourGreater Gombe Ecosystem Program, which helpscreate sustainable livelihoods with state-of-the-artconservation tools and a participatory approach. A USAID grant is also funding ecotourism andenvironmental education in Uganda. Fundingthrough Germany’s Max Planck Institute supportsJGI’s collaboration with Harvard University toconduct non-invasive, behavioral and geneticchimpanzee research at our Tchimpounga sanctuary.

The Institute established a new public policyprogram enabled by a grant from the ArcusFoundation. The program is strengthening theInstitute’s impact on issues affecting the welfare ofgreat apes, including conservation in the wild andtreatment in captivity.

Our administrative and fundraising costs declinedin 2006. Together they account for

20 percent of our total expense base. Fundraising expenses as a percentage of revenuedropped to slightly above 8 percent, despite thecontinuing need to add administrative andfundraising functions to increase revenues and meetthe reporting requirements of donors andgovernment agencies.

The revenue growth of 2006 and continuedexpansion of multi-year funding signals a new levelof fiscal strength, and a higher level of impact forJGI in the years to come. We anticipate continuedgrowth and stronger long-term partnerships withkey funders of our programs in coming years.

“I introduced my son, John EricPeckham, to animals when he was veryyoung. I taught him that all membersof the animal kingdom are sentient

beings and that they should be treatedas such. John had the utmost respectfor animals of all kinds. When he wastragically killed in September 2006, I knew that I wanted to honor his

memory in a meaningful way, andthat my first check would be writtento the Jane Goodall Institute. I have

always adored Jane Goodall. Sheunderstands the interconnectedness ofall creatures that share the earth; herfocus is very broad and encompassing.

If it were not for people like Dr. Goodall and organizations like theJane Goodall Institute, the world would

be a much poorer place.”

“My partner, Linda Korn, alwaysfelt a deep connection to animalsand often said that Africa was

her heart’s true home. Linda grewup reading Jane’s books and

supported the Institute even before Ifirst met her in 1984. Linda and I

believed in JGI’s unique, holisticapproach to conservation, with itsfocus not only on the chimpanzees

but also on the people and theenvironment. This approach reflects

the interconnection of all livingthings. When Linda passed away

unexpectedly in 2004, I wanted tohonor her life by supporting what

she cared about the most — Africaand chimpanzee conservation.”

“I first became aware of Roots & Shoots at a gathering with

Dr. Goodall at the Santa FeAnimal Shelter. I knew immediatelythat this was a program that myfoundation should become involvedwith. Now there is a Four Corners

States Regional Office established inSanta Fe, New Mexico, and

children throughout the Southwestwill be able to carry on Dr. Goodall’svision of Roots & Shoots — breakingthrough brick walls to help solve the

2006 reason for hope gala

CO-HOSTS MARSHALL ROSE AND CANDICE

BERGEN WITH JB BOARD CHAIR DAVID SHEAR

JANE WITH SARAH MCLACHLAN JILL BIKOFF, SUSAN SAKMAR, DARIUS BIKOFF

After meeting Dr. Goodall at a fundraising

dinner in Seattle, Sheri Schultz was

inspired by Jane’s vision of a better world

for people, animals, and the environment.

She jumped in with both feet, joined JGI’s

leadership giving circle, Jane’s Peak

Society, and signed up to go on the

inaugural JPS trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

The journey was life-changing.

In Tanzania, Sheri met the children at Yatima, an

orphanage in Dar es Salaam, participating in the Roots

& Shoots program. She was bowled over by the

poverty, and conversely, by the exuberant, hopeful

smiles. She looked into many pairs of beautiful eyes

that day and saw awe-inspiring potential. So she acted.

Together with the Bobo Foundation, the Schultz Family

Foundation is funding the Yatima Roots & Shoots

Scholarship Pilot Program.

To date, this program has allowed 25 children at the

orphanage to attend secondary school, while covering

medical expenses, career counseling, and more. The

program also involves the children in local Roots &

Shoots groups where they work on service learning

projects that benefit the orphanage and community.

The Roots & Shoots scholarships are giving the Yatima

students a chance at a better life.

Sheri’s travels in Africa were so profound that she

knew she had to get her family (Howard, husband and

founder of Starbucks, and their kids, Jordan and Addy)

there as soon as possible, this time with a stop in

the schultz family

Uganda to meet the

chimpanzees at the

Ngamba Island

Sanctuary.

For Jordan, the

highlight of that trip

came when the family

met and fed the

chimpanzees. “Robbie,” a bit of a brute, arrived in

splendid alpha style. Jordan called out to him

repeatedly, and in response, Robbie picked up a

large rock and chucked it at Jordan — who

caught it! He (Jordan) was totally blown away!

The Schultz family is doing all they can to help

JGI save the endangered chimpanzee. Last fall,

Sheri and Howard hosted a fundraiser in East

Hampton that netted over $620,000 for JGI’s

programs. Sheri’s welcoming remarks that

beautiful August night were so heartfelt. She

explained that supporting the Institute’s mission

is about more than writing checks. It’s also about

helping people see the best in themselves, and

recognizing that each of us can make a

difference in our communities and our world.

It’s that shared ideal that has made JGI’s

partnership with the Schultz family so

rewarding. We are so grateful for everything they

are making possible.
