Even at the age of 90, Goodall continues to be a tireless advocate for climate, environmental and biodiversity conservation. It has a positive message for those attending the Glastonbury Festival.
British primate researcher Jane Goodall has urged Glastonbury music festival-goers not to lose heart in the face of the ever-present crisis.
“We're really going through tough times around the world,” the 90-year-old said Friday at the famed rock and pop festival in the southwestern English county of Somerset, PA news agency reported.
Despite the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and wars in Gaza and Ukraine, there is reason for hope, he said. This was due to the “untamed human spirit,” said the researcher, who entered the stage with a cloth monkey and imitated chimpanzee sounds.
Goodall praised British band Coldplay's efforts to ensure consistency in their tours. The group joins pop singer Dua Lipa and R&B singer SZA at this weekend's festival.
