Having your photograph appear on the cover of a magazine makes you famous around the world.
But imagine if that photo showed you hugging and playing with wild chimpanzees.
That's exactly what happened to Jane Goodall, who shot to fame in 1965 when she appeared on the cover of National Geographic magazine.
Jane introduced the world to the social and emotional lives of the wild chimpanzees of Gumbay in Eastern Tanzania.
Jane spent years living among families of wild chimpanzees.
Her observations changed the way we view our closest animal relatives and made us think about what it means to be human.
In this program we'll be hearing from the iconic environmentalist Jane Goodall.

As well as Dr Goodall, the National Geographic photographs also made the chimpanzees of Gumbay famous.
People around the world became interested in the lives of a family of chimps living in a remote corner of Africa.

she was so well loved that she had an obituary in the Times newspaper.
