Minnesota Zoo Co-Sponsors DR. Jane Goodall Event Apple Valley, MINN – April 12, 2010 – World-renowned primatologist and UN Messenger of Peace Dr. Jane Goodall will speak at an event, cosponsored by the Minnesota Zoo, on Monday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Beth El Synagogue in St. Louis Park. Her lecture, and the private reception that precedes it, are part of a global tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of her pioneering chimpanzee behavioral research in Africa and her inspiring vision. In her lecture, Dr. Goodall will reflect-both personally and professionally-on the meaning of the past five decades, the extraordinary changes the world has seen since 1960, and the impact these changes have had on people, animals and the environment we all share. In addition, she will convey her reason for hope in these complex times, discuss the role we must all play over the next 50 years to ensure a better future for generations to come, and encourage everyone to make a difference, every day. “Dr. Goodall travels the globe more than 300 days a year and receives far more speaking engagements than she can accept, so we are especially honored to have her join us in the Twin Cities,” said Minnesota Zoo Director/CEO Lee Ehmke. Dr. Goodall will sign books following her presentation; her books as well as JGI merchandise and memberships will be for sale onsite.
