Are You Longing To Volunteer Your Time To Help Singapore's Wildlife?

Dr. Jane Goodall is best known for her work with primates in Africa. In 1960, at the age of 26, Jane ventured into the little-known world of chimpanzees. Her experiences changed the way humans now understand our closest genetic relative. To share what she learned to contribute to educating the public about chimps, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. Today, her Institute goes beyond its initial goal by working to find a way for humans and wildlife to live together.

Singapore’s primates

It’s no secret Singapore is constantly under construction. You yourself may find this annoying when traffic gets bad or the noise from pile-driving disturbs your day. But for the wild animals of the island, this can be particularly hard. They are losing habitat, plain and simple.

The Singapore chapter of JGI, run by volunteers, has been operating since 2007, and with a clear mission: help primates and other wildlife adjust to the nation’s ever-changing scene. The goal is for animals and humans to live side by side, in harmony. (Biggest tip? Don’t feed them!)
