>>Female Presenter: And I'm really excited to introduce our speaker for all you here

today. His name is Bill Wallauer. And he's from the Jane Goodall Institute. So, let me

tell you a few fun facts about Bill. All right, fact number one: For 15 years, Bill spent

almost every day following chimpanzees in Tanzania and Africa.

And during that time, he spent more time with chimpanzees than he did with humans. Fact

number two: Bill has served as a cameraman and scientific adviser for more than 30 shows

on the BBC, Animal Planet, and The Discovery Channel, including the very popular "Planet

Earth" series. Fact number three: In the early 1990s, he successfully captured a video of

wild chimpanzees giving birth on tape and got asked by Jane Goodall to join the Jane

>>Bill Wallauer: So, thanks so much for coming out. My name is Bill Wallauer. And I think

you can see from that video, I kinda like my job. So maybe next to a Google employee,

I'm probably the most happily employed employee on the planet.

Yeah, I keep reading how this is the best place in the world to work. And I keep thinking,

Anyway, this next slide. Have any of you ever seen a Jane Goodall talk? A couple of you.

And Jane, I got a message from Jane to send a greeting. And we've already heard that greeting.

But let's hear it again. This is Jane with her classic chimp greeting to all of you.

And that's that wonderful chimp call, which we've been hearing in the forest now. Me,

for 20 years. Jane, for about 60 years, as we go through the forest. And that's just

a chimp greeting to all of you from Jane.

Thanks so much for coming out. So, a lot of people ask me now how do they get involved

in this work? And I have really three people to credit, my mom on the left side. This is

my mom as she was growing up. She was from the East Coast, a traveler, English teacher,

very cultured, from Charlottesville. My father on the top right, he was a professional rodeo

Grew up in the mountains in California. And so, I got this great mix of both worlds. So,

we'd be at a Shakespearean festival in Ashland one weekend and then Dad and I would go up

to Northeastern Oregon and go fishing the next weekend. And so, I'm from Oregon originally.

And so, I owe--. Is somebody from Oregon here? Yay.

A great state. And so, I owe them just so much for giving me that sense of wonder about

both human culture and also about wildlife. And it's just been a wonderful ride. And then,

of course, Jane Goodall, who always a hero.

I met her as a Peace Corp volunteer in 1989, and instantly fell in love with her and her

mission. Yeah, to find out more about that mission, I really encourage you to find out

more about her. She is certainly a pioneer in more than just chimp research in conservation,

in the way she views the world. She is a true living philosopher and visionary.

So, from my background, climbing around these hills and mountains in Oregon gave me a very,

very good background to do the same kind of work that Jane did in the early 1960s. And

so, it's not such a different forest. Very different climate, but not such a different

forest. So I just, with my two years in the forest as a Peace Corp volunteer and my knowledge

of Swahili, I was the perfect fit for Jane.

And this is what I looked like in, when I first went out. I was in my mid-20s. This

is about '92. And very, very green around, green in the field; didn't know very much

about chimps or very much about film-making. And within a year of the Jane Goodall workout,

You've all heard the Jane Fonda workout? Well, that's got nothing on the Jane Goodall workout.

So, I totally got into it, went completely bush. And just Jane, I filmed this birth that

Winnie talked about. And Jane said, "Well, why don't you just do this full-time? Let's

get a research, visual imagery to go along with the long-term data," which they had been

So, now we have a thousand hours of research footage of every aspect of chimp behavior.

But then, film groups would come, film crews would come and they would realize, "Well,

wow. This is really steep and really thick and our scientific adviser can actually get

through this stuff just like a chimp can."

And so, I would be keeping up with the chimps, trying to radio them, "Catch up, catch up.

All this stuff's going down." And they would be a hundred yards behind me trying to keep

up. And so, pretty soon they started giving me the camera and teaching me how to shoot

for film-making, which is a very different art than doing chimp research home movies,

So, I got this great crash course in chimp behavior from the chimps and in film-making

from these visiting film crews. So, as Winnie said, I worked on about 30, 35 films. And

this pinnacle now is this; I think many of you have heard about the "Chimpanzee" film

by Disney Nature. I was one of the cinematographers for that, which is, as a wildlife cameraman,

But particularly for me, because it gives me a platform to actually come to people like

you and talk about not only how amazing chimps are, but the fact that within my lifetime,

at the rate we're going right now with the Equatorial forest, the African forests, they

could be gone in my lifetime. So, that also gives us a really amazing platform to talk

So, Gaia still very much has my heart. And it was absolutely amazing when on my visits,

I would be there for ten, eleven months out of the year, and you could imagine, like during

the 90s, there was a lot going on technologically. You might be aware of that. I missed all that.

And I just heard rumors about this Google thing. I'm a real map person. I love my maps.

I love being able to see where I'm going and see where I've been. And you could imagine

my delight when I could get on Google Maps and mark the tree that Gaia was born in. I

So, you could go on Google Earth and check out the tree that Gaia was born in. That is

absolutely intriguing. You hear about Jane's Peak. It was just off Jane's Peak in the tree

For those of you who are scientist-minded, this is Parinari curatellifolia was the species

And this is Gaia now. This is now 19 years later. She has a baby of her own. And guess

what we called the baby? We called it--. We have G-family, so Gremlin had Galahad and

Do you see the pattern there? Fifi has Freud, Ferdinand, and Faustino. So, we named them

through the female line by their--. And so we thought, "Well, what would be an obvious

name to name another G-baby?" So, there we go.
