A resolution honoring the extraordinary life, leadership, and legacy of Dr. Jane Goodall.

S.Res. 483 is a non-binding Senate resolution that honors Dr. Jane Goodall, the renowned primatologist and conservationist. This type of resolution does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it serves as an official expression of the Senate's recognition and respect for Goodall's extraordinary contributions to science, animal welfare, and environmental conservation.

The resolution was introduced by Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) in November 2025 and was discharged from the Senate Committee on the Judiciary by unanimous consent in December 2025. As a non-binding resolution, enactment would have no direct practical impact on citizens' daily lives or government policy. Rather, it functions as a formal acknowledgment of Goodall's achievements and influence in primatology, wildlife research, and global conservation efforts.
