Rebeca Atencia (Jane Goodall Foundation): You are important, every gesture every day, counts
Primatologist and veterinarian Rebeca Atencia, from the Jane Goodall Institute, recalls that protecting the environment and saving the environment does not depend on big actions, but on small everyday actions that share the dream of saving the planet.
Dr. Atencia, a primatologist who continues the legacy of Jane Goodall, has emphasized that conservation and environmental protection are achievable through hope and collective action. She shared her experiences working in Africa, including her time in the Congo, where she studied and protected chimpanzees and orangutans. Atencia recounted her personal journey, from growing up in Ferrol, Spain, to working with Jane Goodall on a project to rescue and rehabilitate orphaned chimpanzees.
Through small actions and community engagement, Atencia believes that individuals can make a difference in protecting the environment and preserving species.
