The '''Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation''', "a tax-exempt/non-profit, was founded in California in 1977 by Jane Goodall and Genevieve, Princess di San Faustino. Initially, day-to-day operation of the Institute was handled by board members and other volunteers working out of their homes. In the early 1980s JGI moved to the San Francisco offices of the California Academy of Sciences, where it functioned essentially as a USA/Africa "communication link" and as a repository for files." <ref>[http://www.janegoodall.org/about-jgi/default.asp Our History and Mission], Jane Goodall Institute, accessed November 14, 2007.</ref>
