Jane
"Pan troglodytes"
Synopsis:

Jane is a show on an environmental mission. Inspired and produced alongside iconoclast Dr. Jane Goodall and her institute, Jane is a live action / CGI blended series that follows Dr. Goodall's 9-year-old namesake Jane Garcia. Young Jane feels powerless about what's happening in the world and, as a result, creates fantastical imaginative missions for her and her friends to embark upon to help endangered animals. Inevitably, these action-packed adventures spill into her real world, giving Jane an opportunity to open the eyes and change the minds of people in her community. Reminding the audience, as Dr. Goodall does, that "every individual can make a difference."

Episode Synopsis:
Jane and Greybeard lose hope when they see how humans impact chimpanzees in the wild, but David and a special friend help them regain it.
