Jane Goodall brings message of warning, hope to University of Montana crowd
The world’s 7.7 billion humans, and countless other creatures, are living in a perilous era of conflict, poverty, prejudice and the human-caused destruction of the earth — but there is reason yet to be hopeful.
That was the message the legendary Jane Goodall, a force in science and activism, delivered to 1,000 or more people in Missoula on Sunday night.
“I see our species at the mouth of a very long and very dark tunnel,” she said, decrying rampant environmental destruction, prejudice, greed, poverty and war. But there’s a “little star” at the end of the tunnel: hope. To reach it, she said, humankind must struggle to overcome any obstacles in the way.
“Hope isn’t just wishful thinking, it’s about action.”
