Gibbon Monkey House at the Columbus Zoo by butterflykizzez04
Description: The Wild Animal Rescue Foundation has been operating a sanctuary for over 10 years. The project is dedicated to the welfare and protection of gibbons, many of which have been confiscated by the Thai authorities from situations of maltreatment and abuse. The main objective is the rehabilitation and release of suitable captive animals and the provision of long-term care for gibbons that for various reasons ? cannot be released back to the wild. This is the only gibbon sanctuary of its kind in Thailand.In addition to gibbon rehabilitation, the project carries out a program of education among local communities, schools and learning centers, informing people of the importance of preserving the rainforest and the wildlife that depends on this dwindling habitat.
