A Q&A With Animal Welfare Advocates Jane Goodall and Azzedine Downes
Two of today’s most renowned animal welfare advocates, Jane Goodall and Azzedine Downes, will join Fast Company for a live chat about the current state of our most endangered species. Join us September 22nd at 1 p.m. ET, and get your questions in now.
Dr. Jane Goodall, primatologist, anthropologist, and UN Messenger of Peace
Azzedine Downes, President and CEO of International Fund for Animal Welfare
Dr. Goodall is responsible for the seminal discovery at Gombe National Park in the 1960s that primates create and use tools—previously thought to be exclusive to humans. Downes and the IFAW use everything from drones to social media to pinpoint poachers and engage the world in conversation about animals.
Through their tireless efforts to give animals a voice and reverse damaging human behavior toward them, Dr. Goodall and Downes are responsible for much of our modern understanding of the animals we share the planet with. Join us for a conversation about the current state of our most endangered species and how animal welfare advocacy has evolved in recent decades.
The chat will begin at 1 p.m. ET on September 22nd--just in time for #WorldRhinoDay. Get your questions in now using the 'make a comment' box below.
