On the day Jane Goodall turned 90, I sat down at a small table with her. It was April 2024, and she was in New York City to promote a partnership with a jewellery company, Brilliant Earth.

The company was making a US$100,000 (RM420,600) donation to support the Jane Goodall Institute, and she was giving her name to an eco-friendly line of necklaces, rings and earrings.
