Now\u2019s Our Chance: After a Tumultuous 2020, Women Leaders Share 8 Ways to Rebuild a Better World\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n
By Marianne Schnall<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

It has been an unrelenting and rough year–a global pandemic, national reckoning over systemic racism and racialized police violence, destructive wildfires and hurricanes linked to the climate crisis, and the economic impacts of COVID-19. If we try to find a silver lining in all of this, it could be that these crises have dramatically exposed the many flaws, cracks, and inequities in our systems, giving us a rare opportunity to rebuild in a way that creates new paradigms and values and cares for all members of society equally, as well as the earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I spent 2020 interviewing a diverse group of female thought leaders who shared their insights and expertise on where we must focus our efforts to ensure the world that emerges post COVID-19 is more just, sustainable, and equitable. <\/span>I went through these interviews and selected a small sampling to help illuminate the work ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we look ahead to 2021 and all the work that must be done, my hope is that the wisdom of these women will help guide us forward. May it serve as a beacon of hope and a call to action for us all to get involved and use our time, talents, and resources to build a better world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interview with Dr. Jane Goodall: \u2018We\u2019ve Got to Get Together and Take Action Now\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n
By Marianne Schnall<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The last time I interviewed Jane Goodall<\/a> was ten years ago on the 50th anniversary of her trip to Gombe, Tanzania, to begin her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees. Given all the many serious issues we are facing in this unprecedented moment ten years later, I decided to reach out to Jane for another interview\u00a0to gain her perspective on all that is happening, as well as once again solicit her much needed wisdom and her call to action.<\/p>\n

No matter what topic we talked about\u2014whether it was the connection between the abuse of animals and nature with climate change and pandemics, to what shifts in thinking and behavior need to be made to save us, to the status of women and why equality is so important, to what she hopes her legacy will be\u2014she was reflective, immensely wise and always inspiring.<\/p>\n
