CA Yunus mourns death of 'dear friend' and renowned zoologist Dr Jane Goodall

A longtime friend of Bangladesh, he said, Jane took keen interest in ways Grameen Bank empowered women, visiting in the 1990s, and incorporated its principles in her own work in Africa and elsewhere

English Dr. Jane Goodall, chimpanzee researcher and naturalist, observes through glass some of Taronga Zoo's 25 member chimpanzee colony in Sydney, August 31. Goodall, who has spent most of her life studying chimpanzees in Africa is in Australia to raise awareness that chimpanzee numbers in the wild have plummeted 75 percent in 10 years leaving only 250,000 in their homelands of Central and West Africa.
