In response to the arrest of Captain Paul Watson, Dr. Jane Goodall and the members of the Jane Goodall Institute’s Cetacean and Ethics Committees have issued the following statement calling for his immediate release. Dr. Jane Goodall and members of the Jane Goodall Institute’s Cetacean and Ethics Committees urgently call for the Danish government to immediately release Captain Paul Watson and deny requests from the Japanese government to extradite him. We understand that Captain Watson was arrested on charges related to his opposition to a Japanese whaling ship operating in the North Pacific. Dr. Goodall and members of the Jane Goodall Institute’s Cetacean and Ethics Committees unequivocally condemn the practice of whaling and are strongly opposed to arresting individuals demonstrating their compassion and concern for the wellbeing, conservation and protection of cetaceans and individuals of those species. Whales (and other cetaceans) are long lived sentient beings. They have complex social bonds and are extremely intelligent. Whaling, whether for commercial or alleged scientific purposes, is cruel and unethical. Each and every whale matters as an individual and should be respected accordingly. Captain Watson is simply taking action to try to prevent the inhumane practice of killing whales, which most countries have banned decades ago. In so doing he is expressing the anger of thousands of people in many countries who absolutely support his moral courage in not only speaking out on behalf of the whales, but taking action. Yours sincerely, Dr. Jane Goodall and members of the Jane Goodall Institute’s Cetacean and Ethics Committees: Dr. Jane Goodall (DBE, Founder – the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace), Prof. Dr. Marc Bekoff (zoologist, University of Colorado Boulder, USA), Dr. Kerry Bowman (ethicist, University of Toronto, Canada), Chris Heyde (founder and CEO, Blue Marble Strategy, USA), Melody Horrill (journalist and author/animal advocate, Australia), Dr. Soojin Jang (marine mammal scientist, Marine Animal Research and Conservation, Korea), Dr. Koen Margodt (ethicist, the Jane Goodall Institute Global/Ghent University, Belgium), Dr. Lori Marino (marine mammal scientist, founder and president, Whale Sanctuary Project, USA), Mary Peng (founder and CEO, International Center for Veterinary Services, the People’s Republic of China), Dr. Rick Quinn (veterinarian, Canada), Charles Vinick (executive director, Whale Sanctuary Project, USA), Dr. Ingrid Visser (marine mammal scientist, Orca Research Trust, New Zealand) and Sarah Wertkin (anthrozoology, the Jane Goodall Institute, Canada).

Happy World Chimpanzee Day, everyone! As we mark the anniversary of Dr. Jane Goodall’s arrival in Tanzania, let’s celebrate the remarkable creatures she went there to study – and, together, let’s do everything we can to ensure their survival as a species. To learn more about the work being done to study and protect chimpanzees around the world, and to hear more about her journey, take a look at this special message that Jane recorded just for you – dedicated members of the Jane Goodall Institute community. And when you’re done watching the video, make sure you comment with your experiences with chimpanzees. Whether you’ve come across them in the wild, read a book about them in school, or watched a documentary about them with your friends, Jane wants to hear from you – how have our closest living relatives inspired you and impacted your life?

So, it’s the day after World Chimpanzee Day – and we’re feeling very, very grateful. To everyone who joined us yesterday and has supported our efforts to continue helping chimpanzees in need, thank you! If you wanted to donate but didn’t have time yesterday, we have good news!
