Earth Day 2018 | Google Doodle honours primatologist Dr Jane Goodall

It started in 1970. Nearly 20 million Americans joined hands to deliver a message: “our environment sustains us, and so we too must work to sustain it”. Earth Day has since become a worldwide movement to attain the common goal of a sustainable future.

Everyone can contribute to make Earth better planet, and this is what this day, celebrated on April 22 every year, is all about.

Google has, like every year, dedicated a doodle to Earth Day this year too.

The annual Earth Day doodle was created in partnership with famous British primatologist and anthropologist Dr Jane Goodall, who is an ethologist (animal behavior expert), a conservationist, an activist, and an animal-lover too.

In the doodle, the UN Messenger of Peace and Dame Commander of the British Empire, Dr Goodall shares her Earth Day message with the world. She speaks about her inspirations and tells people what all they can do to have a positive impact on the planet.

“It is so important in the world today that we feel hopeful and do our part to protect life on Earth. I am hopeful that this Earth Day Google Doodle will live as a reminder for people across the globe that there is still so much in the world worth fighting for. So much that is beautiful, so many wonderful people working to reverse the harm, to help protect species and their environments,” she says.

With all of us working together, says Goodall, “I am hopeful that it is not too late to turn things around, if we all do our part for this beautiful planet.”
