Because it sort of did back in the 60s. And then after realizing what was  going on it was never quite the same because I've got to try and save  it, I've got to try and save it. Nature is treated as though it's a commodity. And we brought climate change on ourselves,  loss of biodiversity on ourselves, and the pandemic on ourselves. It's all our fault from our disrespect of nature and animals. When I finally got to Cambridge and they told me you can't talk about chimps having  personalities, minds or emotions because those are unique to us, I knew that was rubbish. I didn't deliberately plan it, but it's just  who I am, not to confront the professors, not to say oh you're wrong, but just to quietly go on  doing what I knew was right. And it's the same if I'm trying  to change somebody who disagrees, not to be holier than thou and  attack and say you're doing wrong and you've got to do right, but rather you've got to reach the heart, and I do that through story telling. Kids are absolutely fascinated  by the time I spent with chimps, so that's the nice doorway in. Because once they know the problems  and they're empowered to take action they're so enthusiastic. And I mean, it's their world and they  now know enough starting quiet young. They know that we're destroying the  world now because it's everywhere. You can't miss it. First we've got to alleviate crippling  poverty because when you're poor you can't protect the environment  if it's your only way of survival. But once you're not in the category then we  can all make ethical choices in what we buy. The positive is there's  so much awareness and talk. There's so much more pressure from the public. I'm about to leave the world and  leave it behind me with all the mess whereas young people have to grow up into it. That's why they need ever bit of help they can. And if, you know, if they  succumb to the doom and gloom, which many have, then they lose hope. If you lose hope that's the end. Because if you don't hope that there's a way out, if you don't hope that your  actions can make a difference, then you sink into apathy and do nothing. So hope is absolutely crucial  if we're to get through this. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Enduring Hope of Jane Goodall","description":"Goodall says she understands the bleak projections from climate scientists and the economic and political structures that hinder change.
