AR-News: (Bangkok) White-handed gibbon threatened

[Animalara2003 at aol.com]

At one year old, a young gibbon begins to venture out of its mother's bosoms. 
But they are not weaned until they are two-and-a-half years old. 
These primates are balanced precariously between their natural habit and 
human encroachment

Over the past two years, I have been visiting Phu Khieo Wildlife Sanctuary 
almost every month, tagging along with the sanctuary's research team in their 
study of primates in this rich forest of Chaiyaphum province. Those numerous 
trips have given me an insight into the lives of several wild animals, one of 
which fascinates me most: the white-handed gibbon.
