Hi im Steve Clements and i have a question will the pandemic lead us to rethink our relationship with nature lets get to the bottom line. Today we take a step back from the usual ups and downs of american politics to talk about something much wider and crucial to our future the planet that we live on for tens of thousands of years humans and that means you me our ancestors have been manipulating the environment for economic gain its just what we do we move mountains that shouldnt be moved cut down trees over fish eradicate diverse species from the face of the earth the World Economy is not designed to promote environmental sustainability at least not yet in fact its the exact opposite its built for endless consumption of resources the question today is whether in the middle of this horrible d pandemic can we push reset can we get back to normal in a way that restores balance with the Natural World and were talking to one of the most influential advocates for the health of the planet jane goodall has been a leading voice for conservation and protection of wildlife for decades ever since she spent decades studying chimpanzees in the wild and opened our eyes to broader questions in the scientific world in many ways she has become the ever present responsible voice of our conscience without which we could even be more destructive dr goodall its very good to be with you today to talk about these important issues and im going to start where we last met which was in devil switzerland at the World Economic forum where i saw you blow away a lot of the rich and powerful in the world but today the World Economic forum started this week online and then 2 in yoga terrace the secretary general made the statement we are waging war on our night shouldnt destroying our life support system and they should be striking back. Id like to get your car its about that because hes both warning you know the rich and powerful that the world is descending into chaos and telling them they better get on it do you agree with him is there more to the story that we should be discussing well i said i said yeah and greet with him dont you know ive been saying for ages and i probably said it to you before but we compared to our closest living relatives the chimpanzees the biggest difference is explosive development of intellect and theres no question i mean chimps are highly intelligent on animals and to me i mean think we live designed a rocket that went in mohsen a robot that took photos mas and its amazing what we have being able to do isnt it bizarre that this most intellectual creature is destroying handsomely we dont want to go live on the weve seen what it looks like i mean i dont want to live now im sure you do. And so weve only got this one beautiful planet and we are in the process of destroying it is no question but if intellect is as amazing as i think it is then we do have the ability if if if we get together around the want without wasting time and try to heal some of the harm and at least slow down time and change which by the way is a much more existential threat to our future and the future of life on earth than this pandemic horrible no this endemic is. But i know the world does not revolve around the United States but we do have a new president and one of the 4 pillars that hes put out there that he says he wants to embed in all of his policy actions is is action on Climate Change and youve just mentioned that are you boyd up are you hopeful by what youve seen from from President Biden so far do you think this is an Inflection Point for American Leadership on these issues in a way that matters or you know i think weve always you know heard things but now we have this line you know well lay a walk the walk what is your sense of. What my sense is hes already will it wont peace already committed to rejoining the paris climate agreement and you know i think i think well i feel and i know hundreds of american friends of mine that we have a new possibility in the United States which after all is the most economically powerful skinner and already hes parent will restrict some protecting the environment that the trumpet ministration put into place by the has committed to to change and hes already become. I understand im very hopeful and dr goodall i have spent hours many many hours upon hours watching. As much as weve been able to see your relationship with chimpanzees and i guess i want to ask in a non facetious way in a serious way i mean if they were in charge of this planet what could we learn from them about how they deal with their environment how i mean what would you say are the biggest lessons we could draw from the primates youve spent so much time connecting with. You know this is really a question that isnt going to really help us very much because the way chimpanzees are not theyre not overpopulating they arent arment the way we are then not using complex technology clue innovations but they would if they could and you know in the old days if you go into some of the people who are still living out in the forest they are not harming that environment but again they wouldnt recruit and i think from the Industrial Revolution when food began to be more plentiful we started a population began growing and that was the beginning of the rot. I think thats a very fair answer you i thought about it but i mean there is a there is a beauty out there know one of the things that ive been thinking about all of us mean very smart animal smart folks of our environment being able to manipulate as i mentioned in the introduction in a race of this question we know we have a pandemic and we have a virus that literally has in a way hunting us down to some degree you know we have the ability i think potentially to survive it but that victimhood that knit notion one of a zoo or an arctic virus passed from animals to humans and passed from animals to other animals and whether or not our you think theres a theres a chastening and that a moment where we have to be humble and look at the fact that there are there are elements of what were doing that are quite dangerous that we need to change course and i absolutely do think it i mean this pandemic has disrupted economies around the world its led to death its led to suffering as lead to loss of jobs and we now know that this is because we have so disrespected animals and the natural we create the conditions where these pathogens can jump from animals to people and its been predicted by those studying zoonotic diseases for a long time and you know the next one could be worse if bona had a very high rate debt to interaction and this condom it doesnt but supposing the next one. Kill so many more people like it would if it was it going or if the boehner was in his interactions this coach and so we really do need to rethink our relationship with the natural one of which we are caught and on which we depend and our relationship with the animals with whom we should share this planet. Do you have thoughts on this time on covert in what kind of red warning lights are going off that were you. Well that one in light of simply that as i say we disrespect animals were treating them in ways that i mean you know the golden rule of every single major religion around the world is do to others as he would have them do to you and animals ascend in being good not just things and way treating them as though that commodities and this if you care about animals the way i do if you understand their sentience then this is its a black mark against our humanity actually and we really do need to change that now is Mahatma Gandhi who sent you can tell me something about the nation by the way it treats its animals were not treating animals. Correctly and its not just the wildlife in the bush meat markets in the wildlife markets in asia and the trafficking its also our factory farms we are all over the one we are miss treating our animal well and want sound silly on say britain but thats what tonight americans would say i mean its a fascinating challenge im wondering as you and the and the Jane Goodall Institute have worked around the world i just be interested you know i look at these moments a show and tell opportunities are there moments in your institutions work that youve been able to turn this around that we can talk about say here is a positive way that weve been able to change the way gravity worked around preservation Mutual Respect for species sustainable environmental practices you know i would love to see those stories told more often im just not as aware of them as i should but what are some of those that are top of mind for you. Ok well you know one of them is that when i 1st went to africa in 1060 combinational park where we still study the chimpanzee in this part of that equitorial forest belt stretch right across Equitorial Africa and by 990 gandhi was a small island forest surrounded by totally bad. And ugly more People Living now in the land could support too poor to buy food elsewhere and it was very clean if we can help these people find ways of making a living without destroying the environment we cant save chimps forests or anything else so we began our program called take care of karri and my working with the people by. Working in such a way that they came to trust us by developing a very Holistic Program which included microcredit opportunities for women scholarships to keep girls in school with a management project and Everything Else if you fly over gandhi today you will not see the bang hills anymore so when you were with the local communities when you help them understand that saving the environment is the future not just wildlife then you get partners in conservation and this program is now in 6 other african countries so thats one piece of really good news they are ready to scale it. And listen in our program the youth roots and shoots group weve seen change in young people or in refugee camps. Begin to understand animals on just think and thats not the way they were brought up the culture doesnt tell them so i have seen a lot of change and actually i always say the media is at fault because they just concentrate on the doom and gloom which is important but please give space to ollies wonderful things amazing people to refute projects which are so hopeful that are happening all around new ways of. New ways of treating animals pushing for social justice trying to get rid of discrimination all of these think that happening but rio has much as will the destruction that went to see him go id like to talk about positive things but i also you know want to recognize things that are going so well but i know you started a new line of pod cast dr goodall and i think theyre called hope casts. As well and just at the i think you just start of the beginning of the year. And i guess you know i are you are hopeful right you are hopeful i mean youre not despite all of these things we just talked about my sense is you are hopeful. Well im hopeful if i mean its not its not just its we we have a window of time pretty sure and im not the only scientist to say that but we can only succeed in turning things around if we can to count them not harm thats why i was traveling 300 daisy and around talking about leasing this is why since ive been ground here in iran. But we created a virtual chain and this hope is part of that ive reached millions more people sitting here. Around the world in many more countries than if i was traveling but its so exhausting i mean its nonstop doing things like this gazing at this will specks of camera on the top of your laptop and i miss meeting people i miss having fun evenings with my friends but its reaching many more people so i go on doing it dont i and no choice many were very grateful for that and i guess my question to you because you know these people they many donate to your programs and support you they want to spend time with you and be in your company but do they are they doing enough i mean i mention the World Economic forum before their meeting this week and i just want to raise up ok what have you done since last year folks have you really move the needle in a credible way or is this a kind of vanity island where the where the rich and powerful get together i just like to get your sense of what you think has happened in terms of the time youve talked to to that crowd and whether theyve begun to move the needle in ways that you think matter for the planet earth. I think some of them definitely have i think more people are donating putting some of the allied. Into programs that will help to save the planet to turn things around i know that the regional Economic Forum itself has pushed a whole new emphasis on the environment which wasnt bad before. And so you know these are hopeful signs but we need to really need more its not quite enough but on the other hand they get shipped from some of the really really wealthy people is perhaps encouraging other people to donate more premal to saving the planet for the future i mean you know these people are mature and branches. And they do care and when you sort of look at them and you try and tell stories to reach the heart you can see a change you see the ice change. Are important and thats why. Maybe i can do it a little bit on a screen like this but its not the same as when you know that with somebody and you know ive always and we can only reach a true Human Potential when head and heart work in harmony to many people separate those 2. I couldnt agree with you more on that but on the part of the head side you know i had this crazy idea once i wanted to create a global map and in different parts of the world are Different Countries i wanted to give a rating on whether galileo would be found guilty or not you know to go back to the galileo trial and i sort of fell in the United States in the last 4 years that even though technology as you mention has has you know accelerated and we have so many incredible opportunities on so many fronts that i sort of felt galileo probably wouldnt get off you know in america now im beginning to feel its a little bit different but im just interested in the state of science in the world and the respect for science if you go to developing countries i often find a greater respect for science for doctors for research than i do in the developed part of the world do you find that. I think. I found some countries developing countries have little regard for science i think it depends on on a government thats impala and you know to some of these more to plastic uplands if they dont like science they dont believe in it same sort of attitude not the trumpet ministration. And ive seen that going through so i think in just about every country those people who truly truly respect science and are encouraged by what it can do and then there are other people who are trying it inconvenient i mean like al gore was inconvenient truths its much better not to believe. In Climate Change if you want to carry on making emissions but dont believe in it and it was. And slight working with animals most scientists not. Even animals a century and they have been martians the pure penny but if you will in a business that is treating animals in a very cruel horrible writing its much more convenient to consider that theyre just things isnt it. I think youre absolutely right i think one of the other things that i dont know if youve discussed much but i imagine it has come up as you started so early as this pioneering anthropologist extraordinary relationship that weve all seen and grown up with youre a model for many other women and people but also women going into science im just interested i dont know the answer to this have have you seen you know we talk about gender and gender equity and science have you found your role in model have ever out of both men and as many women into the field of science that youve been part of. Well i think more women certainly have come in but you know i think i think theres a reason why when going into sons it wasnt just sexual discrimination gender discrimination but when when i 1st went to Cambridge University and being with the chimps to me ends i had never been to College Congress goes to do a ph d. And i was taught that difference between humans and animals was one kind and that we were the only beings that personality in mind and emotion but it was also taught that to be a good scientist you have to be coach any objective you should not have and being with your son. And of course i knew that was wrong and this tour i might do and i mean if you have empathy that leaves you do all kinds of aha moments at me and many contest but i think that what i did sort of stuff around the idea of science too many young lives and i think perhaps there is a kind of inborn gentleness in women because that then role in evolution has been to raise families more patients more tolerance perhaps and although. You know its that culture changes that in the way that maybe it is something in. That girls preaching to. You. Have you been able to see or be with your chimpanzee family. Friends i shouldnt call them family but your acquaintances. During this crisis or have you had to be distant from them as well beyond being here we are literally aunts not being rounded in and. So youre traveling the world view that via the net like we all are just i saw some very beautiful pictures of chimpanzees that have been rescued one that came over and i probably have the time stamp on it that came to hug you and caress you and help hold you as one of the most moving things but it looked as if it were recent so were probably probably off on that but maybe but maybe that happened you know just before the covert crisis happened. It and you know the strange thing that that was wounded and. She came and very sick and that scenario and executive director sanctuary say tonight i now turn that day the day she was released on to this island and met up before i was on the boat trip and i was trying to comfort her she must be married whats happening to me now. And yet it was me that she came and in priest if you remember that for teenage she climbs out in a crate she times on the top of it she looks around and then she does it double take and comes back an immigrant says me it was that most moving that ever happened to me and. I said how dish how does that ship now that this lady is responsible for it to her she. Is an extraordinary moment and i encourage everyone to see it i hope we can put a little connection to that let me just ask you just so we get to the close here you you said 2 things that are greatest dangerous apathy. But youve also said that there are many ways to move in the right direction and i just like our viewers and listeners from all over the world to hear from you what are some of the ways jane goodall thinks that we can move in the right direction and avoid apathy. Well i think apathy comes when you lose hope and when you lose hope you do nothing and thats the danger and some people feel helpless and hopeless and i always say to them but you know find ok you can change that well and can change the amount single handed but when you live is this something you could do could you raise money for the homeless could you volunteer in a soup kitchen could you pick up trash could you write letters to try and save a local environment like i would do or a forest or Something Like that if you get involved and you get involved in other people such as yes i do make a difference and then the energy to do more and i think that people need to understand that every single day really we make some impact on the planet and we have a choice as to what kind of impact we make where do we buy where does it come from if it harm the environment was it cruel to animals is it cheap because of child slave labor mate the ethical choice when millions and then billions of people make those ethical choices but thatll never happen in big enough numbers until we leave he aint pretty because when youre really poor you just do what you have to do to ledge cut down the trees because youre desperate to get land to grow more food to feed your family by the cheapest junk food you cant on school those at the coal questions because you got to stammer. Well dr jane goodall someone who makes me hope that i hope that we begin to move in the right direction thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you too thank you for inviting me. So whats the bottom line listening to the wisdom of people like jane goodall helps us to get out of our narrow boxes and remember how much were part of the Natural World and how much our existence depends on the survival of other species zoonotic diseases like over 1000 in a bowl and one h. One z. Keep from mankinds intrusion into the habitat of animals we can rip up and wound the earth but its going to bite back so maybe the Silver Lining in this covert story is that it chasens us dr goodall talks about hope so my hope is that her work will inspire us all the action to have a greater respect for nature and give the environment a much higher priority and thats the bottom line.
