Despite dire warnings for our endangered planet, Dr. Jane Goodall says all is not yet lost – we can change course, if we act now. And she should know. Her tough-minded optimism comes from her work as the world’s foremost authority on chimpanzees. As a scientist and conservationist, she has produced landmark studies on the behavior of the chimpanzees in Tanzania’s Gombe National Park that led to revolutionary insights into what it means to be human. Now, traveling 300 days a year, she has become a global advocate for all life, challenging everyone to see ourselves as caretakers of the planet. Her new book, “Hope for the Animals and Their World,” features the heroic work of men and women working across the globe to protect and preserve the Earth.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $23,000 before midnight tomorrow to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
