Dr. Jane Guddul, who will be remembered as a defender of animals and the famous scholar of Shimpanze, died from natural reasons, said the Institute Jane Gudoll in a statement of Wednesday.
She was 91.
“The discoveries of Dr. Gudolla as Okhlak made a revolution in science, and it was a tireless defender of the protection and restoration of our world of nature,” the statement said in which they announced her death.
The statement says that Guddolla was in California during her death in a speech in the United States.
Guddul became glorified by his work with chimpanzee. Gudoll began to study animals in Tanzania in the 1960s, and she published some of the first observations about the use of tools, communication and their complex social structures in scientific journals.
Her work has laid the path for decades of field research on the behavior of primates in natural conditions.
“Long and beautiful life led”, Ingrid Newkirk saidfounder People for ethical treatment of animals or Peta. GUDLL “PETA helped to finish the conclusion of chimpanzees locked in barren, solid metal cameras for experiments, calling what we exposed and her visit to see them as “the worst day in my life.”
According to the Institute, Jane Gudoll, which she founded in 1977, she “went into the forest to study the wonderful lives of the chimpanzees – and she left the forest to save them.”
According to the fund's website, when Gudll realized that the survival of chimpanzees threatened the destruction of the environment and illegal trade, she “developed a breakthrough approach to preserving species, which improves the lives of people, animals and the environment, respecting their connection with each other.”
Gudlla was 26 years old when she first visited Tanzania to explore the world of wild chimpanzees. She accepted the “unorthodox approach” to her research, ”the fund said:“ Having plunged into their habitat and her life in order to perceive her complex society as a neighbor, and not as a distant observer. ”
Guddul sat with the host “Call her dad” Alex Cooper. An hourly interview About her life and her work at the beginning of this year.
She noticed that Cooper, that she was lucky, she did not have to fight for a place in the field where men dominate when she began her work, because at that time there was hardly a field. This first expedition to Tanzania to study primates was in a limited budget funded by the philanthropist, and the British government will support it only if she has someone with her.
Her mother, who always supported her dreams, grew up to go with her, said Goodll.
“Everyone said:“ It's funny. I mean you have no money, Africa is far away, and you are just a girl, ”said Gudll Cooper. “Not my mother. She said that if you really want to do something like that, you will have to work very hard, take every opportunity, and if you don’t give up, I hope you will find a way. ”
This is a message that she said that she shared in peace.
Gudll had only six months of funding, and the first four months were barren, since the primates were too frightening to allow her to be close enough to observe. But one finally adapted to her presence for a long time to make a breakthrough opening that chimpanzees create and use instruments in the wild.
“The reason why it was so exciting was that at that time Western science was considered only people who used and made tools. We were defined as a person, a manufacturer of tools, ”recalls Guddul. “And therefore, when I wrote to my mentor Louis Lika, he was so excited.”
This discovery aroused interest – and financing – National Geographic and ultimately changed the course of Gudll's career.
