Dr. Jane Goodall is known for her pioneering research with chimpanzees, but in two of her latest projects, the primatologist also shows love for bears, wolves and trees.
While on the Alaskan set for the Disneynature film “Bears,” which will be released Friday, Goodall (a Disneynature ambassador) said “getting to meet the star of the show, the bear mother Sky and her two little cubs, the best moment of all was when she just walked past very calmly, really, really close.”
“I think bears and wolves both are symbols of North America,” she said.
Goodall also spoke about her respect for plants and trees — the subject of her book“Seeds of Hope.”
“I think being out in the forest as I was, alone for month after month after month, you get a very strong feeling for the interconnectedness of all life,” she said. “You really feel at one with nature. The trees almost have a beingness, you know, there are individual trees.”
