Today is Dr. Jane Goodall's 80th birthday. And so I thought it the right time to share this image. It is quite possible that this book would never have come to be had it not been for the encouragement of Dr. Goodall. She took the time out of her incredibly busy life to offer words of support when I was still writing, and that changed everything. It changed how publishers viewed the project, how friends and family viewed it, and even how I myself perceived it. Today Dr. Goodall is a treasured friend who I owe dearly - a debt I can only repay by continuing to protect all those things green and good in the world.
