KOTA KINABALU: An effort to shine a light on gibbons, a lesser-known endangered species in Sabah, is underway with the introduction of a rehabilitation project in a village in Kota Belud.

The Borneo Gibbon Rehabilitation Project to be based in Kampung Kiau, 90km from Kota Kinabalu, is the first such project in this state to focus on these singing apes.

While its Peninsular counterpart focused on three species - Lar Gibbon, Agile Gibbon and the Siamang - the one in Sabah will focus on the North Bornean Gibbon and Abott’s Gray Gibbon. They will then study the primates for health and behaviour assessment as the individuals adapt to the area. “The Borneo GReP will also involve the community there with the concept of eco-edu-tourism, so we have engaged local association Gompito to create awareness and understanding about this species,” she added.
