Less than 500 Western Hoolock gibbons are thought to remain in Bangladesh, so protecting the remaining Indian population is extremely important. The Western Hoolock gibbon is an endangered lesser ape found in Asia. Unfortunately, this charismatic species is facing habitat loss and hunting across its range. Those found in Assam represent more than 70% of the Indian population. To ensure the long-term conservation of the gibbons in this region, ten priority forest complexes have been identified. This shot was captured from Kaziranga national park.
