This week's Oldie pin-up is the remarkable Dame Jane Goodall, whose groundbreaking work with chimpanzees changed the way we understand our closest animal relatives.
At the time her approach to her practice was considered unconventional; for example she was the first to name the monkeys, rather than numbering them. Goodall wrote in 1993: "When, in the early 1960s, I brazenly used such words as 'childhood', 'adolescence', 'motivation', 'excitement', and 'mood' I was much criticised. Even worse was my crime of suggesting that chimpanzees had 'personalities'."
From her early field studies in Gombe Stream National Park to her global advocacy for the environment, she has dedicated her life to the protection of the natural world.
At 90, the English zoologist, primatologist and anthropologist's passion for conservation reigns fierce as ever.
We salute you - a true hero of our time!
