Dr Jane Goodall was one of the best known conservationists in the world.
She worked for six decades, mostly in Africa in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania.
She also worked in Olduvai Gorge in Kenya with Louis and Mary Leakey, the renowned palaentologists.
Her PhD in 1966 in Newnham College, Cambridge, was on the behaviour of free-living chimpanzees.
