“Jane Goodall dedicated her life to protecting our planet and giving a voice to the animals and ecosystems they inhabit,” wrote DiCaprio in a tribute on his Instagram profile.
In the post, the “Titanic” actor mentions Goodall’s study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe, Tanzania, which shows how individuals of the same species relate to their environment, recalling how humans are connected with all life.
“She spoke directly to the next generation, instilling hope, responsibility, and the belief that each individual can make a difference. She inspired millions to care, to act, and to have hope. She never stopped,” he continued.
“My last message to Jane was simple: ‘You are my heroine.’ Now, we must all carry her torch in protecting our only shared home,” lamented the “Inception” actor, who has several photos alongside Jane.
In addition to him, other celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Michael Douglas, Ellen DeGeneres, Rosie O’Donnell, and Hillary Clinton also paid tribute to Jane Goodall.
“Through her work with chimpanzees, she did more than any human being has ever done to allow us to understand the richness of animal life,” wrote Jane Fonda.
