The idea of having this medal, and Starmus being entrusted to organising it, is Jane's. Jane said she would like this to happen. And I think it's because of the very special relationship she had with us, he said. Goodall's grandson, Merlin van Lawick, welcomed the award. The Starmus Jane Goodall Earth medal will acknowledge sustainable programmes undertaken to make our world a better place for people, animals and the environment and provide encouragement for the continuation of that work, he said.

When I was a child growing up in the '60s and '70s, watching National Geographic specials on TV, I wanted to be Jane Goodall. Not like her. Her. I could imagine no better life than observing and learning about chimpanzees. But only Jane Goodall could be Jane Goodall, and I eventually fell into a more traditional path, even going to law school.
