Jane Goodall is celebrating her 90th birthday this week and reflects upon her long (and continuing) career, sharing reflections, lessons, stories and inspirations that guide her philosophy toward protecting the natural world.
A fierce #Conservationist, Lester believed living w/ plants led to understanding. She was often compared to the incredible #PlantExplorer David Douglas, but unlike Douglas, who died young, Lester lived to be 100.
She wrote,
"I [approach] plants from the # Gardener's, not the scientist's, standpoint...
I [write] from my own notes, taken on the spot, of the things the #Plants have told me in personal interviews."
