Silvery Gibbon and Baby
Silvery gibbons, also called Javan gibbons (Hylobates moloch) are lesser apes; arboreal primates that live in rainforest habitats consuming a diet of fruit, leaves and insects. Although other gibbon species are found throughout Southeast Asia, the Silvery gibbon only exists on the small Indonesian island of Java. Java is one of the most densely populated areas of our earth and does not have large tracts of remaining tropical forest. This destruction of the forest has led to the Silvery gibbons endangered status..Population surveys indicate that there are fewer than 4000 individuals remaining in the wild. This small population faces even greater threat of extinction because so many sub-populations are isolated from each other, marooned on forest islands surrounded by rice fields and villages...Information source: https://silvery.org.au/about/about-silverys/
