COVERGremlin, described by Dr. Goodallas a wonderful mother, carries Grendelin Gombe Stream National Parkin Tanzania.

THE JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE OF CANADA embraces these three pillarsin everything we do.We protect endangered chimpanzees andGreat Apes; empower local people to care for their natural resources;and equip young people across the country to take the lead inbecoming agents of change.

This year,300 new Roots & Shoots groups joined our network,the livelihoods of thousands of people have been improved,and,by the end of 2016, the rescued chimpanzees at our sanctuarywill have nearly100 times more forest space to explore.

It’s been a good year.

Protect. Empower. Lead.

To this end, the Jane Goodall Institute continues to be a globalleader in compassionate conservation. We address threatsto Great Ape habitat in innovative and holistic ways, focusingon not only the needs of chimpanzees, but also on those ofthe people who share the land with them.

Our approach includes providing sanctuary for chimps rescuedfrom illegal trafficking and hunting; raising public awareness;collaborating with local authorities and local communities; andempowering people to live sustainably. We continue to developnew partnerships while strengthening existing ones. What’smore, we think strategically about how to build coalitions andhave even greater impact on the ground.

Our efforts to see people live in harmony with nature extendsto our thriving Roots & Shoots youth program throughwhich young people learn to lead with compassion throughcommunity action projects. This year saw the addition ofhundreds of new Roots & Shoots groups in Canada. They allcontribute to a global grassroots movement whose membersaspire to make the world a better place for people, animalsand the environment, one community at a time.

The story of Satan and his mother remind me that we sharethis planet with the most remarkable creatures. Inspired by thepassion and imaginations of young people, I am hopefulthat the wonder of nature will be preserved for our descendantsto enjoy. And I know that, with your support, we will succeedin making a difference for all.

With gratitude and hope,

LETTER FROM JANE

When I look back on the 55 years of researchundertaken in Tanzania’s Gombe StreamNational Park studying chimpanzees, one ofthe most striking revelations is how muchthese animals are like us. Genetically,humans and chimpanzees differ by less than2%. Behaviourally, we are also very similar.Kissing, embracing, holding hands, fighting—chimps even laugh. But for me, one ofthe most fascinating aspects of their socialbehaviour are the familial bonds betweensiblings and between mother and child.

A big male chimp named Satan is a wonderful example of thisrelationship.

One day in Gombe, I followed Satan—who earned his namebecause he had been naughty as an infant—as he wandereddown a path through the forest. Upon hearing the soundsof chimpanzees in the distance, Satan picked up the pace; clearlya fruit tree had been found, and the chimps were gruntingsoftly as they ate.

Satan quickly joined them as he climbed up to help himself.Coming face-to-face with another male, Satan assertedhis dominant status, scaring the younger chimp, who backedoff screaming.

What Satan didn’t know was that the chimp’s older brother hadbeen watching from the branch above. Down came the brotherand soon both chimps were attacking Satan, and now it wasSatan doing the shrieking. High up in the canopy, was a veryelderly female—her teeth were worn down to the gums and shewas shriveled with age. To my amazement, she swung quickly tothe branches below and dropped her frail self onto the battlingmales. This wizened female then started hitting the two brotherswith her small hands! Startled, the young males backed off.

Who was that old chimpanzee? None other than Satan’s ancientmother, still, after 23 years, fiercely protective of her child.

Chimpanzees are among the most fascinating animals on thisprecious planet of ours. The more we study them and observebehaviours like this one, the more we learn. But like otherrare wildlife, chimps face overwhelming threats to their survival,and we must do everything we can to protect them.

One of the most remarkable chimpanzeesat the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee RehabilitationCenter is Anzac, pictured on page 4. Anzacarrived in 2012 when she was just two years old.Originally built to house some 60 chimpanzees,the Tchimpounga sanctuary is currently hometo more than150 of these rescued animals.

Anzac was tiny when the staff first met her. She weighed only2.6 kilograms (just under 6 lbs) and suffered from an intestinalparasite infection. The Congolese authorities had confiscatedher from a poacher and the little chimp was missing mostof one arm, the result, no doubt, of being caught in a snare.

At Tchimpounga, Anzac received the best of care and waslooked after around the clock by her surrogate (human) mother,Antoinette. She quickly made friends with Jeje and Zola whowere about the same age, all curious chimps who playedtogether, exploring their new forest home, safe from harm.

We are pleased to tell you that the sanctuary has been receivingfewer orphans lately thanks to successful public awarenesscampaigns alerting nearby communities that huntingchimpanzees is illegal. JGI campaigns have extended into theclassroom through our Roots & Shoots environmental programin the Congo, and also through our collaboration withCongolese authorities.

We are protecting Great Apes in the wild as well. In theeastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, wherechimpanzees share forest habitat with the highly endangeredeastern lowland gorilla, we work side-by-side with theJGI team in Goma. Joining forces has yielded powerful results:We have partnered with communities located alonga wildlife corridor that connects two important nature reserves—Maiko National Park and Kahuzi-Biega National Park—containing significant Great Ape populations. With fundingfrom the Government of Canada and our generous donors,we have been able to build clinics and schools, and improveaccess to clean water. We also provided alternative sourcesof income by supporting micro-businesses and supplyinglivestock, thus reducing villagers’ economic dependence onthe forest and its wildlife.

CONSERVATION WITHCOMMUNITIES

Protecting at-risk species demands that we engage with allstakeholders—villagers, local government officials, parkrangers, other non-profit organizations—so that we can takemeaningful action towards a sustainable world.

The organization’s holistic approach is key to how we doconservation. It informs our Roots & Shoots program,which reaches more young people across Canada every year.Whether building an outdoor classroom that is also a peacefulrest stop for the neighbourhood, planting a garden forpollinators or restoring a stream, each Roots & Shoots actionproject is an oasis of hope for sustainability. Every timea young person engages in a hands-on effort to change theircommunity for the better, they understand that no oneis insignificant, and that each one of us can be an agent ofchange.

As you will see in our Impact 2015 report, there are manyconservation success stories and you have played a vital role inmaking them possible. Together, all of us make a difference—none too small to be counted. And for that support, weare deeply grateful.

LETTER FROM OUR CEO AND BOARD CHAIR

IN THE REPUBLICOF CONGO

154chimpanzees are cared forat the Tchimpounga sanctuary

35chimpanzees are now living onthe expanded sites on Tchibebeand Tchindzoulou islands

100chimpanzees, or more, will betransferred to the islands by theend of 2016

100times more forest is nowavailable to chimpanzees throughthe sanctuary expansion

22,218wild Great Apes were lostbetween 2005 and 2011 dueto illegal trade

Anzac lost her arm because she hadbeen caught in a snare trap. Sheis now a happy, healthy chimpanzeeliving at the Tchimpounga sanctuary.

05 the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada / Impact 2015

BACK FROM THE BRINKTiny, two-month old PetitPrince was brought to theTchimpounga ChimpanzeeRehabilitation Center afterbeing found in the backof a truck tied up in a bag.Petit Prince’s right legwas nearly severed, almostcertainly from being caughtin an illegal snare trap,and he was in extreme pain.Thanks to the expert medicalcare the little chimpanzeereceived from JGI staff, hislife was saved.

Like Petit Prince, Motambois also lucky to be alive.The young chimpanzee wasconfiscated from wildlifetraffickers in 2012, and whenhe arrived at Tchimpounga,the outlook for his survivalwas grim. Suffering from someof the worst injuries thatstaff had ever seen, Motamborequired urgent care.

In addition to a broken collarbone and gashes on hiship and wrist, likely causedby a snare trap, Motambo

was suffering from a severetetanus infection. He was sosick he could not move hislimbs or even open his mouthto eat and drink.

JGI staff was able to saveMotambo’s life too, and, likePetit Prince, Motambo hasmade a full recovery from hisinjuries.

Today, both chimpanzeesroam freely through theforests of the Tchimpoungasanctuary with their friends,both human and chimp.While they may not return tothe forests where they wereborn, they neverthelessenjoy the same kind of habitatwhere they are safe fromhunting, poaching and trade.

Illegal hunting, habitat destruction, the illegal pet tradeand the transmission of infectious diseases are the dominantthreats to our closest animal relatives. All these factors areexacerbated by grinding poverty.

The Jane Goodall Institute opened the TchimpoungaChimpanzee Rehabilitation Center in the Republic of Congoin1992 to care for and protect injured and orphanedchimpanzees often confiscated from the black market.Aware that a lack of economic opportunities fuels theillegal pet trade and commercial hunting, JGI contributesto the local economy through offering employmentat the sanctuary as well as purchasing food and suppliesfrom nearby sources. By putting up billboards throughoutthe region, the Institute also raises awareness aboutthe importance of Great Apes and that hunting is againstthe law.

We are now seeing an increase in arrests and prosecutionsas a result of working with Congolese authorities. Thanksto our public awareness efforts, we are pleased to reporta decline in commercial hunting and trade in the area andfewer chimpanzees are being brought to the sanctuary.

ONCE NUMBERING in themillions,chimpanzees today arehighlyendangered and at riskof becoming extinct.

EMPOWER


LOCAL GIFTSThe proud father of six youngchildren and a teacher at thelocal school, Laurent Misandaand his wife live in a four-roommud hut with their childrenand Laurent’s two nephews.

Laurent grew up in Walikali,in the eastern DRC. Here youfind one of the world’s biggestforests and habitat forthousands of chimpanzees.Following tradition and widelyheld practices, Laurent tookwhatever he needed from thenearby forest —wood forcooking and building his houseand animals to eat.

Life changed for Laurent whenhe became involved in JGICanada’s Better Beginnings,Stronger Families project.Through the initiative, Laurentreceived fruit trees andlivestock. The sheep he tendedhad babies, which Laurentsold on the market, earningenough money to pay fortuition for four of his childrenwho otherwise could not haveattended school.

“When my sheep have babiesagain, I will give them to myneighbours,” says Laurent.“I would like to pass the gift.”

Laurent gives his village manyother gifts. In addition tobecoming an environmentaleducator, he has created aRoots & Shoots group with hisstudents. They have planteda kitchen garden, growingsweet potatoes, beans andpeanuts. Some vegetables theywill keep and some they willsell on the market.

“Traditionally,” says Laurent,“I took everything from theforest. Now I don’t. I havelearned how to breed animalsso I am less dependent onthe forest resources.”

Although he started out asa beneficiary of the JGIproject, Laurent has becomea donor, giving to otherfamilies, protecting the forestthat surrounds his village,and increasing the oddsof success for endangeredchimpanzees.

FOR NEARLY FOUR DECADES, the Jane GoodallInstitute has been slowing the declineof chimpanzees and other Great Apes andpreserving their biologically diverse habitats.


YOUR SUPPORTEMPOWERSPEOPLETO BECOMESELF-RELIANT,ELIMINATESPOVERTY ANDSAVES HABITAT.THANK YOU.

But deforestation, illegal hunting and trade on the blackmarket continue to threaten population stability.

We recognize that successful conservation strategies mustinclude local communities as true partners. Workingin villages located in and around chimpanzee habitat, ourprojects improve the lives of local people while simultaneouslysaving wildlife. Using a community-managed approach,our initiatives are designed to discourage dependencyin favour of empowerment.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, we’ve trained farmersin animal husbandry, distributed livestock and supportedtree nurseries run by women’s groups. This has helpeddecrease pressure on forests and wildlife. Furthermore, thesehouseholds are now taking the initiative in promotingconservation in their communities.

At the new schools we’ve built, we have trained nearly200 teachers in conservation education through theRoots & Shoots program. At one of those new schools,attendance has more than tripled with a significantincrease in the number of girls staying in school.

By prioritizing the issues that are most important to localcommunities and providing solutions specific to theirneeds, people benefit from conservation and become thefirst defenders of wildlife and ecosystems.

ROOTS & SHOOTSKEEPS GROWING.THIS YEAR

286educators enrolled inJane Goodall’s Roots &Shoots program

300Roots & Shoots groupsacross Canada joined

10,000+students were reached

20Indigenous youth-ledprojects took place throughour Protecting our SacredWaters initiative

4,000Aboriginal students reached

A member of Roots & Shoots,Laryssa cares for rescuedanimals including Cleopatra,her favourite chicken.


“It’s pretty busy here at lunchtime,” reports Stuart.“Lotsof students hang out, eatinglunch and talking, and peopleliving near the school havepicnics or just take a littlebreak by themselves. It’s verypopular.”

Aldergrove has a significantIndigenous student population,and Stuart believes thekids benefit when learningis grounded in nature.

Stuart has also noticed thatstudents have a sense ofownership and pride in theoutdoor space, and in theschool in general. Carpentrystudents built a whiteboardshelter and others will helpplan next year’s project:a butterfly garden that willfurther beautify the formergravel lot, and continueto deepen the connectionbetween students, theircommunity and the naturalworld.

Thousands of young people, inspired by Dr. Jane to makethe world a better place, lead projects in their ownneighbourhoods that tackle issues concerning sustainableliving. In doing so, they learn how to lead with compassion,collaborate, and innovate to meet both local and globalenvironmental challenges.

Roots & Shoots spans nearly 100 countries, with 150,000young people making a positive difference for animal,environmental, and human communities around the world.

From pollinator sanctuaries to school energy audits, projectsare as varied as young imaginations. The common threadis the Roots & Shoots methodology where all projectsdemonstrate the connections between people, animalsand the environment.

This year, we scaled up the success of our Roots & Shootsprogram by initiating a “Whole School” approach whereRoots & Shoots is implemented across all grade levelsin a single school. Our first Whole School was WestmountCharter School-Elementary in Calgary. Projects includedcreating bird habitat in the new school yard, buildinga living wall, and reducing waste. Students and teachersalike loved the sense of community spirit created bybeing part of a shared movement.

THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING that promotesleadership skills,critical thinking andcompassion, Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shootsencourages youth to become agents ofcommunity change.


COMMUNITY SPIRITArmed with a Roots & Shootsgrant, Stuart Crowley’sstudents at AldergroveSecondary in Langley BC.transformed a neglected patchof their school grounds intoan outdoor learning spacethat both kids and neighbourscan enjoy.

Stuart takes justifiablepride in what his studentsaccomplished, a green oasisin the shape of a circlewith pathways that form thepoints of a compass. Moreover,the classroom doubles as anoutdoor drop-in with membersof the community crossingthrough it daily, sometimestaking a break to sit andenjoy the space.

Eight tables and benchesoccupy the center of the circle,which is surrounded byindigenous plants, includinga dairy oak that will eventuallyshade the entire area. Staffteach from the middle with thestudents all around. Althoughthe outdoor classroom hashelped generate interest inStuart’s sustainable resourcesclass, it is used to teach allsubjects.

Growing up in Vancouver in the late 1960s,John Harrison’s house served as the local hang-out,as friends regularly trouped through the place.No doubt a large part of the draw was the animalmenagerie that also took up residence thanks toJohn’s environmentally-minded parents.

“When you live with animals, it really sensitizes youto how they experience the world. I started thinkingmore about the planet and the animals we shareit with. I grew up during the beginning of Vancouver’svibrant peace and environmental movements.I became an educator so that I could help peopleunderstand that we’re living on a finite planet, andthat we can’t afford to take it for granted.”

For John, the Jane Goodall Institute’s holisticapproach of addressing community issues alongwith ecological ones, is very appealing.

“It takes someone many years to connect the dotsand see how it all fits together, how sustainabilityis really about the whole ecosystem and theroot causes of the damage. Our solutions need totake an equally broad view. Many people makingsmall changes results in big changes.”

When Allison Forsythe heard Jane Goodall speakin Ottawa in 2010, she left with a commitmentto help the institute in any way she could. Allisonsays that Dr. Goodall’s hopeful message—thateach individual can make a difference—resonatedwith her. Hearing Dr. Goodall speak was also herfirst exposure to the idea that conservation is mostsuccessful when it is community-based.

“I loved the philosophy of Roots & Shoots inparticular, because projects can be tailored andimplemented in any country, any place, byanybody. Too much hopelessness contributesto apathy. People feel like the problems aretoo big, so why bother? Roots & Shoots empowers

WHY I GIVE ALLISON FORSYTHE

young people to take charge of their environmentalconcerns and create solutions at the communitylevel. It’s the perfect antidote to hopelessness.”

Not only did Allison volunteer with JGI Canada,she also became a monthly donor. She is equallyhappy with her donation funding new schoolsin Africa as she is with helping pay for supplies andthe professional staff who run the organization’sprograms.

“JGI Canada addresses the needs of so many peoplearound the world and in Canada, and I trustthem to use my donation wherever it will havethe most impact.”
