Our lovely friend Professor Marc Bekoff got together with Dr Dame Jane Goodall this week in Denver, Colorado. In the midst of speeches, Jane reached out and signed a beaming Marc’s Animals Asia t-shirt.

They have both visited us on site in Chengdu and Marc is coming back for his third trip later this year. Jane’s own adopted bear is our gorgeous and very naughty Mandela:

Jane and Marc have written books and articles together and are giving animals a voice – loud and proud – across the globe. How lucky we are to have friends like these.
