With less than 100 individuals left in the world, the cao vit gibbon, living along the Chinese-VietNamese border, is one of the most endangered primates in the world and in dire need of conservation support. Alongside ecological research and direct protection of the gibbons habitat, Fauna & Flora International is helping local communities to develop pig-manure biogas plants and fuel efficient stoves to reduce the demand for fuel wood, the extraction of which poses a significant threat to the gibbons habitat along with livestock grazing.
