Saving gibbons

Gibbons are an endangered species of ape in Southwest China, Northeast India, Bangladesh and Southeast Asia. Hoolock gibbons are found in all the Northeastern states of India and adjoining Bangladesh and Myanmar. The species have been affected severely by anthropogenic factors in these countries. A joint conservation effort in the form of joint patrolling of borders and intelligence sharing could effectively help in successful conservation of these species.
