In the greater Indochina region, primate types include lorises, langurs, macaques and gibbons. Little is known about the status of primates in this region, particularly in Cambodia.

Text and photos displayed here are from a gibbon conservation brochure produced by Save Cambodia’s Wildlife. 10,000 copies have been produced and will be distributed across Cambodia. This project is part of of our broader gibbon conservation program which includes the children’s book Will You Hear My Song, which will be off the press in August 2002.
