Listen "Kelly Kok: Dr. Jane Goodall’s Wisdom, Reimagining the Future of Environmentalism, and Finding a Sense of Awe in Times of Wonder Deficiency"
Episode Synopsis
This week, I sat down with Kelly Kok, Executive Director of the Jane Goodall Institute Taiwan and the Jane Goodall Sustainability Academy.
Kelly has worked at the Jane Goodall Institute Taiwan since 1998, and her primary focus has been growing Dr. Goodall’s Roots & Shoots Program in Taiwan, empowering individuals with action in environmental education and conservation.
At the top, we discussed why learning with children to understand how nature works is more important than ever and how the Sustainability Academy, as Asia’s first experimental school focusing on sustainability and conservation, is helping children at a young age to learn about the importance of reconnecting with nature's awe-inspiring moments in their everyday lives.
On the back-half, we began by discussing the influence of Dr. Goodall’s seminal book, ‘In the Shadow of Man.’ We then delved into her wisdom and tenacity in transforming hope into action through Roots&Shoots, bringing solace and power to many who may be grappling with eco-grief and anxiety toward our planet.
As we explore the future of environmentalism in the digital age, Kelly shared how reimagining communities and collaborating with other Roots&Shoots chapters around the globe has amplified the collective voices of people, animals, and the environment. This celebration of diversity, while united in love, peace, and abundant joy, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Dr. Goodall's vision for a better world.
