Closing out 2025 with a quote from one of the greats we lost this year. Remembering Jane Goodall…her intellect, her compassion and the hope that she gave us for a better world.

"Now I suppose it is too much to hope that the American male of the species, notoriously stubborn and boastful, will in 2026 attend to the guidance of Maya Angelou, hearken to the warning of Ellie Sattler, or listen to the remonstrance of Liz Cheney." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

This fills my heart ❤️
