I always wonder how you can be so empathetic with the chimps. What has helped you in being so much in tune with them?

Can a chimp love you back? How does it feel when your favorite chimp dies? Would it be like losing a beloved dog? Or like losing a brother?

Do you miss the company of a male companion out in the wild?

How does today technology help save endangered species and how does it interfere?

What do you feel is the most innate characteristic that defines both chimps and humans?

You've chosen to spend more time with animals than with humans, yet you still have hope for humanity. What do you see in them that you don't see in us?

Dr. Goodall, your work with chimps has been amazing. If you could reside with another species (excluding gorillas and orangutans), which would you choose, and why?

What is behind this passion for Chimps?

What is your position on several other current environmental issues, for example climate change and the energy crisis?

You are incredible to have found a way to work in a field that you love and for that to have such an amazingly positive affect on the world. How do you work with so many animals and not get emotionally attached to them?

Which do you like better, chimps--or animals--or humans? Why?

How do the chimpanzee's handle the mind body problem? Are they able to balance instincts and conceptualizations without justifying considerable collateral damage.

I am a big fan of National Geographic, and have seen the articles about you from the 1960's and 1970's. Would you ever consider teaming up with them again, and go back to Tanzania?

I loved "Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees." What was it like to see your lifework on an IMAX screen?

God bless your lifetime devotion to those blessed chimps and gorillas. Will you go and help the staff of the beloved Carole Noon of the Save the Chimps sanctuary in Florida? now that they have lost their mentor and founder? I know you do alot with the Digit fund, which I love, but Im sure Save the Chimps could use your guidence. There is not enough room here to tell you what alot of us feel for what you do and have done. God bless you!!

Is there someone with you now who will take over your astounding work later? And have you made provisions for your compound and the chimps there? I know you knew Dr Carole Noon of Save the Chimps in Florida, will you go there now and help them adjust to the pain of losing their founder? God Bless you Jane, for all you have done and continue to do!!!

When did you first know that the study of chimpanzees would be your life's work?
