The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GRP)

This is the sad story:
In Phuket and in other part of Thailand gibbons are illegally kept as pets and tourist attractions. The only way to get a young gibbon is to take it from the wild by first shooting its mother and father. Most of these babies are then used on the beach or the street, where tourists pay money to have photographs taken with them.

At GRP employees are working with gibbons, which have been taken away by the police or handed in by their owners. They try to rehabilitate gibbons in an effort to repopulate the rain forest of Khao Phra Thaew, where gibbons once lived. Sadly, until they can be re-released into the wild, they must be kept in the cages.
