Our Partners

The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada is fortunate to have the support of a number of key partners that provide us with the resources that allow us to run our programs, to empower young Canadians to make their communities better places to live, and to raise awareness among Canadians of the urgent need to protect habitat for chimpanzees and other wild species in Africa.

JGI Canada is involved in a partnership with the University of Toronto's Centre for Environment that sees our national office located at the University. The partnership involves collaborations on teaching and research, sharing of information on JGI's conservation programs in Africa, and opportunities for U of T students to contribute to JGI’s programs around the world.

The Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) is supporting JGI Canada’s largest community-centred conservation program to date. With this support we are conducting a three-year project in western Uganda, in collaboration with JGI Uganda and Heifer Project International, called the Sustainable Livelihoods Project. This project is working with 700 households in seven villages of the Hoima District, to restore regional forests and waterways, improve livelihoods, and promote environmental education and engagement

Roots & Shoots

We are thankful to our Roots & Shoots partners for supporting and promoting our activities across Canada.

Starbucks supports the activities of Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots across Canada. Their partners are also involved with Roots & Shoots, through the participation in community projects helping people, animals and the environment.

In May, Alan Ferrigan, the Community Lead and District manager of Starbucks in Ontario, came by our office to present Jane Lawton, Executive Director of JGI Canada, with a cheque in support of Roots & Shoots.

We are also grateful to our media partners for providing us with complimentary space or airtime that allows us to publicise our activities.

We also work closely with a wide range of organizations that have similar goals. These organizations can be accessed through the links section of our site.
