Become a Gombe Science Hero for Daily Observations - Telling the Story of Everyday

Tracking the lives of chimpanzees, one day at a time. Every day, Gombe’s research team records detailed observations of individual chimpanzees, who they travel with, what they eat, how they play, and the roles they play in their communities. These "focal follows" make up the famed B-record and are the foundation of everything we know about wild chimpanzee behavior. Supporting this daily research keeps Jane Goodall’s legacy of storytelling alive and fuels discoveries that connect science, emotion, and understanding. Ideal for those who cherish narrative science and believe in long-term investment in learning. Your Gombe Science Hero package includes: A personalized certificate recognizing your support of daily behavioral research through Gombe’s historic B-record. An info sheet detailing how researchers track individual chimpanzees each day, creating a continuous narrative of community life and behavior. A quarterly email update with the latest stories and findings from the B-record. A collectible postcard print of our vintage Gombe Stream Research Center poster, a tribute to Jane Goodall’s legacy of field research. Upgrade to a Premium Package to receive an eco-friendly plush chimpanzee—capturing the spirit of curiosity that defines daily observation at Gombe or a Vintage Jane Goodall Gombe Stream Research Center Organic Tote. Please note that you may receive either one of the chimpanzees shown in the photos. *If you are gifting this product, the recipient will receive a special card acknowledging that you sponsored their adoption.
