At the Gibbon Rehabilitation Center in Kao Lookchang bordering the jungle of Petchburi a few selected groups of gibbons are being rehabilitated to prepare to go back to the wild.

All these gibbons have come through the Wildlife Rescue Center and are now living on large natural islands, adapting to life in the trees again. In total we can accommodate over 50 gibbons on islands, a much better option than placing them in cages.

Most gibbons are fed small amounts of food to supplement their diet, however they quickly learn to forage from the natural resources on the islands. Frequent research programs have been implemented to study the behavior of both captive and wild gibbons alike.
