Three gibbons rescued from a kindergarten
On January 30, three yellow-cheeked gibbons (Hylobates gabriellae) at a kindergarten in Vung Tau Province were turned over to Dao Tien Primate Rescue Center at Cat Tien National Park. One six-year old girl who joined ENV’s painting activities at a bear exhibit held at Dam Sen Park in August, 2009 informed ENV’s staff. After being persuaded by ENV’s staff, Vung Tau FPD and experts from Dao Tien Primate Rescue Center, nuns from the kindergarten voluntarily transferred the three yellow-cheeked gibbons to Dao Tien Primate Rescue Center.
