Which magazine published several of Goodall's Tanzania research articles in the 1960s?

The story behind the answer

National Geographic published several of Jane Goodall’s Tanzania research articles in the 1960s.

The magazine helped introduce her Gombe chimpanzee research to a worldwide audience. Goodall’s first major National Geographic article appeared in 1963, describing her life and observations among wild chimpanzees in what was then Tanganyika; photographer Hugo van Lawick supplied the accompanying images.

National Geographic’s support was more than editorial. A National Geographic Society grant helped fund Goodall’s fieldwork, and van Lawick documented the chimpanzees and their habitat on film and in photographs. The partnership made her discoveries accessible far beyond specialist scientific journals.

The 1960s connection is sometimes confused with the magazine’s later television work. National Geographic also produced the 1965 documentary special Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees, but the quiz asks about the magazine that published her articles. That magazine was National Geographic.
