Why did poachers try to kill Jane Goodall?
Diane Fossey is the scientist you are thinking of. Check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dian_Fossey. The movie "Gorillas in the Mist" was about her.
What was Jane Goodall's religion?
Dian Fossey was a famous American born zoologist, meaning she worked with animals. When she was not with the animals it was not known what her religion was.
Did Dian Fossey have accomplishments?
Yes, she did. She studied Gorillas in Rwanda for eighteen years. She lived with them, and gained their trust by imitating their behavior. Before Dian Fossey, many people thought that gorillas were mad beastly savage monsters. She disproved that theory,and had the first peaceful human contact with gorillas ever recorded. The gorillas treated her like part of their family group. Dian Fossey was also very active in fighting against poachers, especially after her favorite gorilla, Digit, was killed by them. She founded the Digit fund, which was later changed to the Dian Fossey Fund (after she died), as an organization (in memory of Digit) to raise money for the fight against poachers. She singlehandedly brought attention to the plight of Africa's gorillas. She was murdered in her cabin, supposedly by poachers trying to get her gorillas. Dian Fossey is often mistaken for Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall worked with chimps, and is a completely different person.

Jane Goodall, Never Did Die, she is 78 and still on her feet, she really LOVES animals<3 She can never ley them go, she said if I need to die I would like to die with the animals, but if she was far away from the animals then she would like to die alone, she would not really be that happy if she died when a animal attacked her, but if she has to die then she has to die........
