Reacción a "Jane Goodall, icon of primatology and environmentalism, dies"

Jane Goodall was a scientist ahead of her time, courageous and even misunderstood in her early days, who broke the mould and redefined what it means to approach animals with respect and empathy. What we now accept as scientific evidence was revolutionary at the time: detailed observations, infinite patience and a deeply human approach that humanised chimpanzees and, in turn, connected us with our more animalistic side. She was also a true pioneer in the role of women in science, demonstrating by example that passion, dedication and rigour know no gender boundaries. Her tireless curiosity, rigour and humble passion transformed primatology and the way we understand the life around us, bringing science closer to people and, at the same time, building a legacy of conservation and sustainability, brick by brick, step by step.

All of us who were fortunate enough to meet her, spend time with her or listen to her were touched by her almost magical inspiration: a combination of humility, inner strength and authenticity that continues to guide researchers, educators and nature lovers around the world. Jane Goodall leaves behind a legacy that does not depend on a single person, but on thousands of seeds that follow her example. Her influence will continue to mark a before and after in science, conservation, social justice and equal opportunities for women in research.
