These are Moloch Gibbons with their young in Borneo.
The silvery gibbon (Hylobates moloch)  ranks among the most threatened prim=
ates. It is listed as Endangered on the 2009 IUCN Red List of Threatened Sp=
ecies.
The gibbons and the orangutan are fast declining in Borneo, Man is destroyi=
ng their habitat and planting palms for the harvesting of palm oil. Palm oi=
l is found in many products now including buttery spreads, granola bars and=
 the like. Please be aware of the products you buy that have palm oil in th=
e ingredients, Buy choosing this product you are contributing to the demise=
 of habitat and the very existence of these amazing animals.
