Our planet needs more people like Jane Goodall. To say that she will be missed is an understatement.
In 2019 I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting her at an event at the Walt Disney Family Museum. That special evening included an auction of artworks to benefit one of Jane's charities.
I wanted to contribute a wire sculptor, and I remembered a beautiful photo from an early National Geographic article. She called this junior chimp Flint.
He might make a nice wire sculpture, I thought. First I looked at some chimp drawings I had done earlier before starting to work with the wire.
The last photo does not show Wire Flint from his best angle, but you get the idea.
Here's to Jane Goodall, an ambassador for chimpanzees, wildlife, people and our earth!

ReplyDeleteJane Goodall’s legacy is woven into the very fabric of conservation and compassion. She taught us that every living being matters—that empathy, curiosity, and science can coexist to protect what’s wild and precious.
DeleteYour sculpture of Flint is a beautiful echo of her spirit—delicate, expressive, and full of life. Here's to Jane: a tireless advocate, a gentle force, and a reminder that hope is always worth fighting for. 🌍

DeleteRest in peace to an iconic researcher and animal advocate. And being a famous woman in that field was also greatly impactful for a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteVielleicht liegt das an mein Alter oder an einer falscher Wahrnehmung, dass es mir so vorkommt, dass zunehmend viele sterben, die Lücken hinterlassen, welche nicht geschlossen werden können? 😢...
ReplyDeleteSchwierige Aufgabe gut gelöst, Mr Deja! 👍🙂
