Over the years, thousands of caring supporters around the world have enabled us to continue to rescue dozens of abused and neglected gibbons from a variety of unfortunate, sometimes horrific, backgrounds. Our gibbons have been retired from zoos, were part of roadside attractions, former pets, or they spent years, even decades as subjects in research laboratories.

Without the generous support of our compassionate donors, many of these animals would have been condemned to a life of misery, or even an unnecessary and premature death. Instead, our gibbons enjoy some of the best conditions in captivity, with a variety of fresh food, indoor enclosures equipped with heat, air conditioning and TV’s, spacious outdoor enclosures, enrichment, and plenty of loving care.

As a result, we’re happy to say that some of our gibbons have reached the age of 60 and Gibby, who was wild-caught and then spent decades in research, turned 62 in March 2021!
