The sun blazed down on the sidewalk of Provo’s Center Street as community members pounded the pavement to the finish line. The marathon started before the sun had even risen, and amongst the clumps of college students was an older gentleman dressed in bright yellow. He finished in under five hours.
A notebook in one hand and binoculars in the other, twenty-six-year-old Jane Goodall left England and arrived in modern-day Tanzania to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Her arrival in the Gombe Stream National Park was intimidating for her as she set out to study the huge, furry chimps by living in harmony with them. Even now at eighty-seven years old, Goodall still studies chimpanzees and advocates for wildlife conservation around the world.
