-------------------------------------------------------------

The renowned primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall has died at
the age of 91. The Jane Goodall Institute announced her death in an
Instagram post stating that her discoveries "revolutionized science, and
she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our
natural world." Goodall was on a speaking tour of the U.S. and died in
California of natural causes. Later in the broadcast, we'll air excerpts
of Democracy Now!'s 2015 interview with Jane Goodall.
