More About Project
Beware they BITE!!
 When gibbons reach sexual maturity at six or seven years old, they develop large canines and become aggressive. At this stage they may be dumped or killed. Some owners will give the gibbons to organizations like us or to The National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department when they reach sexual maturity. They will then acquire a new baby gibbon which will be easier to handle and more attractive to tourists. If they do decide to keep the gibbons, they may file down or remove their canines and then place the gibbon in a tiny cage or chain it up
Accommodation and Food
Volunteers live in bungalow-type buildings in a small village close to the sanctuary. Accommodations are basic with two people usually sharing a bedroom plus shelf, fan, mosquito net, pillow and cloth hanger. All other occupants of the bungalow share a toilet, shower and cooking facilities. Food can easily be found at local restaurants. Also a local market and internet accessibility are available in the area.
Program fee does not cover food. Cost of food varies from $3-6. You can either cook by yourself or eat in local restaurants. Once-a-week, the project will take all volunteers to the super market in the town to buy groceries
