Dr. Jane Goodall speaks at the L.A. Zoo in celebration of the United Nations International Day of Peace. Due to overwhelming demand, Dr. Goodall's lecture is sold out, but it can still be viewed remotely on large video screens.

Dr. Goodall is a United Nations Messenger of Peace and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute. She is joined at the Zoo by young members of Roots & Shoots, the Institute’s global environmental and humanitarian youth program

The day includes the symbolic flying of the program’s signature Giant Peace Dove Puppet, a globally known symbol for peace. The dove symbol for Dr. Goodall not only represents peace among people, but also peace with wildlife and the natural world we share.
