Her knowledge of Africa and its wildlife leads to him hiring her as his assistant. In 1960, Jane arrives on the shores of the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in western Tanzania. At first the animals fled from her in fear but with patience and regular searches of the forest, and not getting too close too soon, the chimpanzees gradually accepted her presence. In October, 1961, she observes meat eating in chimps for the first time. At a later date, she sees them hunt for meat, which disproved that chimps are vegetarian. She also gets to see them making tools our of branches, such as using braches to push into termite mounds. This was one of the greatest discoveries for Jane as up until that time, it was believed that only humans were capable of creating tools. In 1962 she was accepted into Cambridge University as a PhD candidate. In August 1963 she published her first article, "My Life Among Wild Chimpanzees" in National Geographic.

Dian Fossey - Dian Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963 and in 1967 she established the Karisoke Research Centre between Mount Karisimbi and Mount Visoke. Her main objective was to study gorilla ecology, demography and social organisation. In order to do this she had to be able to identify individuals so she spent lots of time around the group, allowing them to habituate. In order to get a better understanding of them, she began to imitate their vocalisations and behaviours, the end result being one fo the male gorillas reaching out to touch her hand. In 1977, Digit, one of her favourite gorillas was killed by poachers, which led to her establishing the Digit Fund to raise money to help protect gorillas. It was later renamed the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. In 1983, her book Gorillas in the Mist was published and in 1988 it went on to be made into a film. However on December 26th 1985, Dr. Dian Fossey was murdered in her own cabin in Karisoke. She is an iconic conservationalist because of what she did for gorillas. She took on poachers head on by destroying traps, confronting them face to face and she even hired anti-poachers and guards which she funded with her own money. She severely opposed the poaching of gorillas and the black market that sold gorilla skins, hands and head. Her organisation provides protection for mountain gorillas. She was convinced that without immediate and long term conservation goals, there would be nothing left to save. For more information see http://gorillafund.org/about_dian_fossey

When it comes to African conservation, four women spring to mind, Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall, Wangari Maathai and Daphne Sheldrick. The following images are of these iconic women and what they have done for conservation.

Fantastic video that is very inspiring to everyone. There is a great quote at the end of this video about how we’re fighting against poverty, racism, fighting for equality, feminism and gay rights but that doesn’t matter if we can’t save the earth because then we’ll all be equally extinct. Sums it up beautifully.

Yesterday was an absolute success for the Conservation Society. Members of the society were in charge of arts and crafts, a Tombola and a game of Sweet pong that went down a treat with the children.

Students were able to collect some fantastic prizes for the Tombola including Chester Zoo tickets, Alton Towers tickets and many more.

The society managed to raise £189.83 in total, a fantastic amount to be raised that will do a lot to help the charities chosen.

Well done to everyone who was involved with running the stalls on the day!

The disappearance of tigers from the wild as a result of human actions would be unpardonable and a sad reflection on our role as guardians of the natural world. If we can't save the tiger, then this will surely be a signal for the demise of thousands of other species and wild places.
