Image by @Joel Sartore | Hearing the songs of the pileated gibbon in a tropical Southeast Asian forest is an extraordinary experience. But, unfortunately, many of these forests are going silent. Habitat loss, poaching and collection for the pet trade has caused the populations of this beautiful primate to drop significantly. They are now listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List.
This young Pileated Gibbon named Sokny was photographed at @ACCB_cambodia near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Sokny arrived at the ACCB last year weighing just 1.2 pounds (550g). He was so weak that he could not even cling to his caretaker. After his parents were killed by poachers, a well-meaning local family tried their very best to hand-rear him, but thankfully decided to hand him over into professional care when his condition worsened.
Over the last year, Sokny has improved significantly and now loves to climb and swing in his enclosure! Recently, he has been fully weaned off of milk and has been permanently introduced to two other young gibbons who were also taken from the wild to be pets as babies. The three of them are now forming a tight knit youngster group.
Check out @accb_cambodia to learn more about their wonderful conservation and animal rescue work in Cambodia!
