Seeds of Hope
ByPublisher Description
From world-renowned scientist Jane Goodall, as seen in the National Geographic documentary Jane, comes a fascinating examination of the critical role that trees and plants play in our world.
Seeds of Hope takes us from Goodall's home in England to her home-away-from-home in Africa, deep inside the Gombe forest, where she and the chimpanzees are enchanted by the fig and plum trees they encounter. She introduces us to botanists around the world, as well as places where hope for plants can be found, such as The Millennium Seed Bank. She shows us the secret world of plants with all their mysteries and potential for healing our bodies as well as Planet Earth.
Looking at the world as an adventurer, scientist, and devotee of sustainable foods and gardening—and setting forth simple goals we can all take to protect the plants around us—Goodall delivers an enlightening story of the wonders we can find in our own backyards.

“Another incredible and inspiring read from Jane Goodall. She never ceases to inspire me and remind me that we as individuals can do so much in our own communities if only we just take that first step.
"People come to me and say, ‘Well, look at the world, look at the wars, look at the destruction of the environment, of poverty, the suffering, the destruction of the soil with industrial agriculture.
What can I do? I'm just one person. It's overwhelming.'
And we have this stupid saying, ‘Think globally, act locally,’ but no. Act locally first and do something."
