Current stage on Congress.gov: Agreed to Senate.
The Senate formally honored the life and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall — born April 3, 1934, and a world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, and United Nations Messenger of Peace — proclaiming April 3, 2025, and April 3, 2026, as Jane Goodall Day. The resolution — agreed to by the Senate — recognizes her landmark research on chimpanzee tool use in Gombe, Tanzania, the founding of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots youth program that has reached over 1.47 million young people in 65 countries, and her broader legacy of environmental activism and compassion. It is a symbolic honor and does not change law.
