Bioneers: Tears in the Eyes, Rainbow in the Heart

The Bioneers Radio series brings us Tears in the Eyes, Rainbow in the Heart: Dr. Jane Goodall's Reasons for Hope.

The visionary primatologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall revolutionized primatology and helped us realize how close our kinship is with the animal kingdom.

It has been 50 years since Dr. Jane, as she’s affectionately known, began her intensive solitary studies of chimp behavior In Africa’s Gombe National Forest and inspired the world to save the rapidly dwindling populations and their habitats. Today her compelling vision in action to restore people, animals and planet is delivering real hope.

Airs Thursday, September 6, at 8:30 p.m. during UPR Presents.
