A Conversation with Dr. Jane Goodall: "We're Going to Put the Trees Back"

Summary•3 min read

Dr. Goodall explores how tree planting efforts serve to both replenish our forests, as well as recruit more people into the movement to protect them.

From the very beginning, environmental sustainability has been an important part of the Docusign story. Docusign eSignature alone has replaced billions of pieces of paper, along with significant amounts of the waste, water, carbon, and wood required to make that paper. This core strength—along with our belief that Docusign has an important role in creating a low-carbon, sustainable future—led us to launch Docusign for Forests in 2019.

Through our Docusign for Forests initiative, Docusign is committed to protecting the world's forests, and in honor of this day, we thought it fitting to share the latest installment of our monthly video series honoring the legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall, a lifelong lover of trees and a passionate advocate for forests.

In this installment, Dr. Goodall and our CEO, Dan Springer, explore how tree planting efforts serve to both replenish our forests, as well as recruit more people into the movement to protect them. Other highlights include how Jane's Roots & Shoots programme is bringing children and adults together to plant millions of trees around the world and how Docusign supports nonprofit organizations like Unilever to plant trees in the communities where we live and work.

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace.
