Gibbons And Me Part 2 In 1980 I responded to a request for volunteers to help in a refugee camp for Laotian Refugees in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. I was housed with a couple others in a run down house with no glass in the windows. In front there were a few tall trees along a driveway between our place and a family that did both missionary and charity work. In 2 of the trees in the closest was a Macaque and in another tree there was the White-Handed Gibbon. Now I would never be comfortable keeping these primates as pets/guard primates but back then I was not as aware and they were not my primates. One event started me on the road to being an advocate for gibbons. I don’t remember how t happened but or day the gibbon got loose. So I took chase. I followed the gibbon over rooftops and a tree but there was no way I could keep up. Thankfully the gibbon ended up in nearby Wat (Buddhist Temple) where a monk caught the gibbon. I began my journey to not only learn more but to stop the exotic pet trade and advocate for organisations that work with and for gibbons. Those 2 events: seeing gibbons in the wild in Borneo and living next 2 one in Thailand helped make me the Naturalist I am and urge you to do your part to help endangered wildlife. #WhiteHandedGibbon #LesserApe #UbonRatchathani #Thailand #Adventures #RunawayGibbon #SaveTheGibbons #Apes #SaveTheRainforest (at Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXm-YjBrfoX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Beautiful Gibbons of Thailand 🇹🇭 Thankfully there are organizations actively working on behalf of these magnificent animals. This is a #Repost from @gibbonguardians ・・・ We are fortunate to study wild gibbons in one of the few protected gibbon habits in Thailand. But extensive logging throughout most of Thailand has reduced forest coverage across the country to less than 30%. Thai forests are home to a whopping 23% of the world's biodiversity!! That makes Thailand a biodiversity hot spot and an area of critical importance to our planet's eco-health! Trees are vital for the survival of all of life on earth. That's why we're working hard to help restore rainforests in Thailand with our 'Rainforest Restoration' program that aims to protect, conserve and regenerate gibbon habitats to help our beloved endangered apes both survive and thrive in the jungle! Behind the scenes, we're hard at work updating our website to tell you more about 3 new projects we're launching this summer/fall with ways for you to join us and help!

A clip from “Expedition Borneo” from BBC Earth featuring the filming of gibbons in an isolated canyon in Borneo. It gives you a look at the amazing gibbons agility in the trees high off the ground. Expedition Borneo is available on DVD. ・・・ #Gibbons #Gibbon #GibbonApe #RainforestCanopy #BorneoRainforest #Brachiation #Brachiating #SwingingThroughTheTrees #SaveTheRainforest #SaveTheGibbons https://www.instagram.com/p/B-9NpREgRuq/?igshid=1r45mgqipw4n7

Kloss Gibbon Singing In this video clip, that includes an additional 2 photos, you can see kloss gibbons up close. It preservation is very important and it’s population as decreased by around half in the past 30 years. The video is a #repost from @swaraowa via @PhotoAroundApp greeting from the wild of #Mentawai forest. #InternationalGibbonday The two photos, added to the video, are a #repost from @markleonspence via @PhotoAroundApp Mark Spence wrote “Kloss' gibbon with his feet up, mid song. One of Mentawai's endemic primates and another one of Indonesia's primates that is unfortunately endangered. It's numbers have declined by approximately 50% in the last thirty years. They are said to be fiercely territorial, using their ridiculously amazing singing to ward off rivals but when we saw this guy he was part of a group of at least ten. Whether that was a weird coincidence or something else I don't know but trying to focus on that many gibbons leaping around in such a small area was just totally overwhelming.” #gibbon #klossgibbon #hylobatesklossii #gibbonsofinstagram #kloss #hylobates #siberut #tamannasionalsiberut #indonesiawildlifephotography #primate #IUCN #gibbonwatching #IndonesianGibbon #primatewatching #primataIndonesia #klossGibbon #gibbonproject #conservationfieldwork #Bilou #swaraOwa #KlossGibbons #SaveTheGibbons #SaveTheRainforest www.swaraOwa.blogspot.com (at Kepulauan Mentawai) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-OM66DgUcu/?igshid=1n9v9x3fply5x

My Favorite Primate Singing Their Song. It’s The Bornean Gibbon and just like the Orangutans, Macaque and Proboscis Monkeys, Tarsiers and Slow Lorises, their habitat is being threatened by deforestation. The world 🌏needs these primates and so do the people of Malaysia🇲🇾, Brunei🇧🇳 and Indonesia🇮🇩. ・・・ This is a #Repost from @cedeprudente ・・・ Good morning from the jungle! Bornean gibbons declare their territory at dawn, gibbons pair for life, the forest canopy is their highway! #gibbon #photosafari #canopy #borneangibbon #phototripsabah #Malaysia #Brunei #Indonesia #SaveTheGibbons #SaveTheRainforest
