Rare gibbon saved from hunters in central Vietnam

A baby gibbon from a rare species was rescued from hunters in central Vietnam on July 13 and is now in good care.

Forest rangers in Quang Ngai Province said they have received the 7-month-old gibbon of the northern white-cheeked species (Nomascus leucogenys) from a commune official, who paid for the animal to save it.
The rangers will send it to a national park in the north for proper care before releasing it back to nature.
The white-cheeked gibbon is now found only in Vietnam and Laos, living in primary evergreen forest. Its number is threatened by poaching and habitat loss.
