The Hoolock Gibbon (Hoolock hoolock) is a small endangered ape species found in the forests of Southeast Asia. The remaining population of Hoolock Gibbons faces threats such as habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting for their meat and body parts. Deforestation and conversion of their forest habitat for agriculture and logging have significantly reduced their numbers. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their forest habitats and raising awareness about the importance of their conservation.
