#TalDíaComoHoy Dian Fossey fue asesinada (se cree que por cazadores furtivos a los que se enfrentó durante sus 22 años de trabajo). Una de las primeras primatólogas del mundo. Junto con Jane Goodall y Birutė Galdikas, formaron las Trimates, el grupo de investigadoras en primates.

Very sad to learn that Biruté Galdikas, world-renowned orangutan researcher, has died.
With Jane Goodall (chimps) and Dian Fossey (gorillas) she was one of the Leakey “Trimates,”studying the great apes in the wild. She became a tireless advocate for orangutans and their habitat. #nopalmoil

I got curious about whether Jane Goodall worked at all with Dian Fossey and was not expecting to learn they were part of a primatologist supergroup.

There goes the great Jane Goodall. Extraordinary human being. Biruté Galdikasaka is now the last living of the 3 women primatologists- Goodall, Dian Fossey & Galdikasaka, aka "the Trimates"-trained by famed paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey. All three of them changed the field of primatology forever.

Today, we're also honouring Dr. Biruté Galdikas – a scientist and educator, a conservationist, and an advocate for the orangutan.
Biruté and Dr. Jane, together with Dian Fossey, were once known as Louis Leakey's "trimates." These three women redefined humanity’s relationship with the natural world.
