When Jane was little, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This inspired her lifelong love of animals, and after living with chimpanzees in their natural habitat, she now educates the public on animal rights.

But now, her School Strike for Climate has inspired millions, and taught everyone her valuable message: No one is too small to make a difference.
