Cuando era pequeña, a Jane Goodall le regalaron un chimpancé de peluche, y le cambió la vida. Desde entonces, su curiosidad por los primates no hizo más que crecer. Tras años fantaseando con Tarzán de la jungla, le surgió la oportunidad que esperaba: viajar al corazón de África para poder estudiarlos.

Pero sobre todo nos enseñó a conocerlos, amarlos y protegerlos.
