Dr. Jane Goodall's inspiring keynote address presented at the 2005 Esri International User Conference has been captured on DVD so that her remarkable story can be heard by others. In it, she talks about what first inspired her to visit the Gombe region of Tanzania in 1960 to conduct chimpanzee research and how geographic information system (GIS) technology has become an integral part of the Jane Goodall Institute's (JGI) work through the years (for example, Esri's ArcGIS Tracking Analyst was used to follow Fifi, the first chimpanzee to approach Dr. Goodall in her early days as a researcher). During the keynote, Lilian Pintea of JGI demonstrates how GIS is used to address the problem of deforestation in Gombe National Park and help manage habitat restoration programs.
Also included on the DVD are video clips from the IMAX film about Jane Goodall, an Esri ArcGlobe animation of Gombe National Park, a slide show from the User Conference Great Ape Special Display, and a slide show that gives a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for Dr. Goodall's keynote presentation.
Dr. Goodall is an inspiring, moving speaker; her words and message come directly from her heart and reach out to the hearts of those in the audience. We are very pleased to offer this spectacular DVD at a price of only $20, plus tax, shipping, and handling. A limited number of DVDs are available for purchase, and all proceeds will directly benefit JGI.
