Lar Gibbon Hylobates lar

Gibbons, often called “lesser apes,” are no less than awesome! The Lar Gibbon Hylobates lar, also known as the white-handed gibbon, is a charismatic and acrobatic primate renowned for their incredible agility and melodic songs that echo through the rainforests of Southeast Asia. With their striking black or sandy-coloured fur and distinctive white markings on their hands and face, Lar Gibbons are both captivating and vital to their ecosystems.

These gibbons are Endangered according to the IUCN Red List, facing rapid population declines due to habitat loss, poaching, and the illegal wildlife trade. Protecting these extraordinary primates means addressing deforestation, logging, and other threats head-on. Fight for their survival every time you shop.
