Rescuing and rehabilitating Malaysia's singing apes so they can find their voice in the wild again.
About Gibbon Conservation Society
The Gibbon Conservation Society is a Malaysian non-profit dedicated to protecting the country's gibbons through research, education and community action.
Malaysia is home to several species of gibbon, the tree-dwelling apes whose songs once carried through its forests. As habitat is lost and their numbers fall, the Society works to give these often-overlooked animals a voice and to keep them part of the landscape.
Established in 2013 and formally registered as a non-profit, the Gibbon Conservation Society takes what it calls conservation from every angle, weaving together field research, public awareness and community engagement rather than relying on any single tactic.
Through its Gibbon Research and Education Programme, with branches in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, it pairs scientific study in the field with public outreach. It runs volunteering opportunities both online and on site, citizen science through public sighting reports, species identification education, corporate partnerships, a gibbon adoption scheme and playful campaigns that invite people to sing like a gibbon.
As flagship species, gibbons help draw attention to the health of Southeast Asia's rainforests and the wider biodiversity they support, so protecting them benefits far more than the apes alone. Backing this work funds the research, education and community engagement that keep Malaysia's gibbons from slipping quietly away.
