“May we all honour her by carrying forward that same fierce belief that we can do better, that we must do better, and that we have a responsibility to protect this beautiful natural world we all share,” DiCaprio said in his remarks at the Washington National Cathedral service.
Dr Goodall could be clear-eyed and blunt “about the greed and relentless consumption of our species”, the Hollywood star said of his late friend.
“But beneath that fierce honesty was an unwavering faith that every voice matters, that we are all connected to the living world, and that each of us can make a difference,” DiCaprio said.
In 1991, she launched Roots & Shoots, a youth-led environmental program that today operates in more than 60 countries.
Dr Goodall wrote dozens of books, appeared in documentaries and earned numerous honours, among them being made a Dame Commander by Britain and receiving the US Presidential Medal of Freedom from Joe Biden.

“She constantly reminded us that life was full of wonders — an interconnected tapestry of diverse creatures,” her grandson Merlin van Lawick said during his eulogy.
“We promise to carry forth your light.”
