🌍🐒 Meet Bill Wallauer
Bill is the official videographer, filmmaker, and scientific advisor for the Jane Goodall Institute. For over 30 years, he’s been behind the lens capturing the intimate lives of chimpanzees at Gombe National Park.
From documenting the first ever wild chimpanzee birth on film to sharing their stories with the world through documentaries, Bill’s work has brought us closer to our closest relatives than ever before. 🎥✨
None of this would have been possible without Dr. Jane Goodall, who forever changed the way we see chimpanzees. Her groundbreaking research showed the world that chimps use tools, form deep family bonds, and have rich emotional lives. She didn’t just rewrite science books—she ignited a global movement for conservation and compassion. 💚🌱
We’re honored to speak with Bill about his journey, his work with Jane, and what we can all do to protect chimpanzees and the forests they call home.
