Show Notes
Primatologist Birutė Galdikas, the last of Leakeys Angels, passed away in 2026, marking the end of an iconic era in science. Galdikas, along with Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey, revolutionized our understanding of primates, revealing their intelligence, personalities, and cultures. Their groundbreaking work blurred the lines between humans and animals, inspiring global fascination and conservation efforts. However, the forests are shrinking, and primatologists today face the urgent task of protecting species like lemurs in Madagascar, which are facing extinction. The legacy of Leakeys Angels calls for action to ensure the survival of our primate kin.
