Monkey warriors 🐒 Western hoolock gibbons are

Monkey warriors 🐒

Western hoolock gibbons are an endangered lesser ape found across Asia, though 70% of the Indian population are in Assam.

Males are black with a distinctive white eyebrow-like stripe above their eye, whereas females are much lighter in colour, usually beige, with dark brown hair on the sides of their face. They form monogamous pairs and will sing in unison to mark their territory. 🌴

Their populations has declined by 90% in recent years but we have an exciting project with Dr Jihosuo Biswas who is working to protect these striking primates as well as their neighbours, the golden langur monkey.

Talk about noisy neighbours 🐘 Our partner Samy

Talk about noisy neighbours 🐘

Our partner Samya Basu in West Bengal is implementing measures to stop elephants coming into villages and raiding food stores. 🏘️

Samya is making villages more elephant-friendly by installing modern alarm systems to give villagers early warning of them being about and underground granaries to stop them accessing stored food. 🚨🫘

Samya was also recently invited to carry out training on elephant identification, tracking, the role of villagers and low-cost mitigation measures on behalf of the State Forest Training Institute (Hijli), the Directorate of Forests and the Government of West Bengal.

These humane measures are replacing traditional and harmful deterrents like electricity, crackers and fire. The goal is to enable humans and elephants to live alongside each other more harmoniously and safely in the future. 🫶

Saving pangolins from poaching 🥺 Sander from t

Saving pangolins from poaching 🥺

Sander from the Pangolin project we're funding out in Vietnam has been in touch with some lovely photos and videos of pangolins from their centre (some of these pangolins are in captivity as they're considered evidence in prosecutions against animal traffickers and some are part of a captive breeding scheme). 🌴

Part of the project is to improve the enclosures/enrichment to hopefully keep the animals as stimulated and 'wild' as possible before they are released back into the wild. 🌴

Sander has been trying out rotating the pangolins into different enclosure to stimulate them - they look like they enjoyed it!
