Jane Goodall vs. Humans: The Unintelligent Ape Showdown
Jane Goodall, the legendary chimp whisperer and eco-warrior, sadly shuffled off this mortal coil at 91 while still schooling us on our catastrophic planet habits last week during New York City Climate Week and Forbes Sustainability Leaders Summit. Not even a q&a with the Wall Street Journal's podcast 'The Journal' could get her to slow down. She reminded us, repeatedly, that humans—despite wearing pants and having fancy gadgets—are just animals crashing the planet's Airbnb with zero respect, shouting 'We’re not intelligent because we’re destroying our only home!' Her final mic drop? Economic development can't hog the party if we want to avoid self-extinction—dramatic, yet all too real.
