Gombe 55
Goodall and JGI celebrated the 55th anniversary of Goodall’s arrival at Gombe on July 14, 1960. When Goodall arrived, Gombe Stream National Park was only a small nature preserve, Tanzania was the British protectorate of Tanganyika and the chimpanzees were completely un-habituated to people. But Goodall was persistent in trying to observe the chimpanzees and her determination led to the world’s longest-running study of wild chimpanzees.
