Drawing on decades of work by the world's most famous living ethologist and environmentalist, Jane Goodall-Reasons for Hope, is an uplifting journey around the globe to highlight good news stories that will inspire people to make a difference in the world around them. Featured stories such as the Northern Bald Ibis' migration over the Alps, with Dr. Johannes Fritz imprinting baby Ibis and through the use of paragliders teaching them the migration route from Austria to Italy that has been abandoned for over 400 years. The re-introduction of the American Bison by the Blackfeet Nation with people from the Blackfeet tribes such as Ervin Carlson and Christina Mormoruni working to establish a free roaming herd. Dr. John Gunn and Tina McCaffrey introduce the worldwide recognized Sudbury Regreening Story, the reversal of the landscape decimated by acid rain into natural forest lands and renewed lakes. And finally inspiring youth-led initiatives involved in Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots align with historic footage of Jane's beginnings as a chimpanzee researcher. Throughout, the film reinforces Jane's four pillars of hope that signal tremendous hope for the future: the amazing human intellect, the resilience of nature, the power and dedication of young people, and the indomitable human spirit. Jane revolutionized how we view the world around us. Join her on this adventure of inspiration and hope.
