  • Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
  • Have you met Robyn and Vilson, the two White Cheeked Gibbons at Wellington Zoo? You've probably heard them - they sing a duet every single morning!
    They're arboreal, which means that they live in trees - and gibbons in the wild are becoming increasingly vulnerable due to deforestation.
    Watch the video to find out how you can help make a positive difference in keeping their habitat safe!

    Gibbons from Malaysia's gibbon conservation society need help! Some of their juveniles were featured in BBC's primates film and the founder has been recognized by IUCN SSA as the only Malaysian certified for 'instigating successful rescue and rehabilitation of gibbons and siamangs'. However recently the Malaysian government wildlife department (Perhilitan) raided the center twice and forcibly seized a total of 8 gibbons, leaving 4 behind. They do NOT have a warrant. There has been an ongoing court case but it is NOT finalized yet, the reason behind why they are rushing to take the gibbons is unknown, but many say it's a power move and corruption. Videos of the first raid were recorded and posted but during the second raid, the center staff were not allowed to witness the handling process. After the staff left, bloodstains were found all over the gibbon enclosure. Perhilitan refuses to tell us where the seized gibbons are brought to and show how they are doing. This is extremely alarming and the psychological trauma inflicted on the gibbons during this process can undo the years of efforts, if the gibbons manage to survive. Many of the gibbons had been paired up and being separated and treated so violently is severely stressing these highly sensitive animals out. Footages of perhilitan's own gibbon enclosure have been posted online, they were forced to live in concrete rooms, cages, and even showcased in cages surrounded by spotlights and loud traffic noises. In comparison, gibbon conservation society's gibbons live in the forest and are taken care of strictly according to IUCN's guidelines. Their work in gibbon rehabilitation is internationally recognized. The Perhilitan does not care and will not care if the public outrage does not get loud enough. We need the global community's help to save the gibbons. Not only because they include the most endangered primate species but also because they are highly sentient beings and not mere goods to be snatched around for human greed.
