As a child, Jane Goodall had a natural love for the outdoors and animals. And at age 23, she left for Nairobi, Kenya. There, Jane met famed Dr. Louis Leakey, who offered her a job at the local natural history muum. She worked there for a time before Leakey decid
ed to nd her to the Gombe Stream Game Rerve in Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. He felt her strong interest in animals and nature, and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanzees.
In December 1958, Jane returned home to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition(考察), curing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds. In May 1960, Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation.
Jane arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Rerve on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with her mother. The early weeks at Gombe were challenging. Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work. Finally, an old chimpanzee named David Greybeard began to allow Jane to watch him. As a high-ranking male of the chimpanzee community, his acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to obrve. It was the first time that Jane had witnesd David Greybeard using tools. Excited, she telegraphed Dr. Leakey about her obrvation. He wrote back, "Now we must redefine 'tool' and 'man' or accept chimpanzees as humans."
Jane continued to work in the field and, with Leakey's help, began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962. At the University of Cambridge, she found herlf at odds with nior scientists over the methods she ud—how she had named the chimpanzees rather than using the more common numbering system, and for suggesting that the chimps have emotions and personalities. She further upt tho in power at the university when she wrote her first book, My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees, aimed at the general public rather than an academic audience. The book was wildly popular, and her academic peers were outraged. Dr. Jane Goodall earned her Ph. D. on February 9, 1966, and continued to work at Gombe for the next twenty years.

The beauty of the outdoors naturally encourages people to go outside. The drive toward the natural world is prent in normal times. Now, as many people are locked indoors, spending hours in front of screens, the pull of watching wind blow branches of neighboring trees is hardly matched. Forest therapy is one way to satisfy the demand while improving personal health and well-being.
Inspired by the Japane practice of shinrin-yoku, or "forest bathing", forest therapy is a guided outdoor practice, which encourages people to experience the pleasures of nature through all of their ns and be prent in the body.
Rearch on shinrin-yoku began in Japan in the 1980s when leaders there noticed a sharp ri in stress-related illness in the country, resulting from people spending more time working in technology and other industrial work. Specific ttings were created to guide people in outdoor experiences. Rearch showed forest bathing may help reduce stress, improve attention, and lift moods.
