People must “choose wisely” what kind of impact they have on the planet, Dr Jane Goodall tells Kathimerini in an interview about the work being done by the Greek branch of her Roots & Shoots initiative and ahead of her visit to three Greek cities on December 9-11 to spread the message of conservation.
The British scientist, who is known for her work with chimpanzees in Africa and is also a United Nations Messenger of Peace, said she is looking forward to “spreading a message of hope in Greece, raising awareness about our work, and urging people to help us in our efforts to make this a better world for all.”
She has also expressed concern about animal abuse in Greece, as Dr Anna Katogyriti, the head of Roots & Shoots Greece, told Kathimerini.
Katogyriti said the last email Goodall sent her referred to the mistreatment of donkeys on the island of Santorini, an issue which the two scientists are planning to address.
