Gibbons
& Macaques

All but one of the 20 species of gibbons is listed as Endangered or Critically Endangered. Of the 44 species of macaques, only 2 are listed as stable.

Both gibbons and macaques face similar threats in the wild. Together, with the support of kind and compassionate people like we, we can support the fight to end the suffering of our tree-dwelling cousins.

Gibbons

Gibbons suffer many human-caused threats:

Habitat loss due to deforestation and forest segmentation
Being hunted for sustenance
Being captured and slaughtered for use of body parts in local medicine
Separation of young gibbons from mothers to be sold in the illegal wildlife trade
