Questionnaire filled out by Goodall and signed at the conclusion, one page, 8.5 x 11, January 13, 2013. Goodall comments on her legacy, accomplishments, and professional life. She writes that she desires her legacy to be “a global organization with an endowment & carry on studying & protecting chimpanzees, improving the lives of those living around wilderness areas, inspiring & empowering youth to make this a better world for people, other animals & the environment.” She also describes the highlight of her career, “When Old Flo trusted me enough & let 4 month old Flint approach & reach out to touch my nose,” and the lowest moment of her professional life, “When 4 of my students were kidnapped from Gombe & taken across the lake. We did not even know where they were.” In fine condition. The kidnapping she references occurred in 1975, when four students studying with her in Tanzania were taken by a rebel leader and held for ransom; they were rescued when their families were able to raise nearly $500,000 to recover them. A fascinating and unique first person account from the world’s foremost primatologist, discussing numerous aspects of her life and career. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
