Bambam
Came to us in 2004 at the age about 9 months (estimation). After being found abandoned in a cardboard box by the side of the road in Bangkok. Now a strong and healthy gibbon, she is enjoying her time with cage mates Songkran and Nat. We have every hope of them being returned to the wild in the future. |

Nat
was born at our Rehabilitation Site on 19th September 2004. His parent Bozo and Kushta. The family was released into the forest but unfortunately Bozo went missing, result back to the rehabilitation site as they could not stay in the forest on their own. Once Nat was old enough, we separated him away from his mother to join fellow play mates Bam Bam and Songkran |

Songkran
We named Songkran after the Thai festival on the 13th April, the date that he arrived at the GRP. He was confiscated from a beach photographer in Patong, Phuket in 2004 at the age about 6 months old, far too young to be taken from his mother. He was malnourished and weak and needed special attention. Today although small for his age, he is energetic and sociable and along with cage mates BamBam and Nat; is well on the way to a bright future in the wild. |

Jorn
was born in the wild in 2004, ad soon become another unlucky victims of the wild animal trade. Luckily for him, how owner decided to release him overnight at our Rehabilitation Site. he looks so similar to his cage mate Muki that is hard to tell them apart and we love to watch them play together. Jorn was found to be free of disease, and now they are both in a big cage with Cop. Now on his way to become a free gibbon one day. |

Muki
was born in 2004 and came to us in 2006, after being bought off a beach photographer by a well meaing tourist. Whilst the intention was good, unfortunately this act only reinforces the wild animal trade, for the photographer will probably have bought another baby gibbon, poached from the wild, with the money. For all three Muki, Jorn cage mate Cop, a life in the wild now beckons. |

| Potential Breeding Pairs |
|
|

|
Mee and Jojo
Jojo (male ), born wild in 1999 and Mee(female), a year younger, formed an immediate bond when they became cage mates as juveniles, and have been together ever since. They are both close to reaching sexual maturity so it is very likely that they will produce offspring soon. Jojo was originally a pet, whose owner gave him over voluntarily to the GRP, whilst Mee had been kept in a cage outside a restaurant in Bangkok. |

 |
Annie and Aye Aye
Annie (female), born wild in 1995, was kept as a pet and had a finger missing on one hand and a very matted coat, with dreadlocked fur, when she came to GRP. Aye Aye (male ), three years Annie’s junior, was being kept in a cage in a temple, when a married couple took pity on him and brought him to GRP. This couple has formed a solid bond and we feel that they are strong candidates for having a family and being successfully released in the near future. |

| Unreleased Gibbons |

Guinness
was born wild in 1987 and kept in a temple with monks for 14 years. He is different species from the other gibbons at the GRP: a Pileated Gibbon. He was bought to the project in November 2001 and was kept in quarantine for 3 years. The GRP then decided to be only focused on the white-handed gibbon and Guinness was sent to WARED in Ranong for 4 years. Here it was attempted to pair him with numerous females of the same species and sadly, all were unsuccessful. Guinness arrived back at the GRP in January 2008, as it was decided he would live out his life here with us. It seems that he is happier by himself, however he will soon be moved down to a cage by the viewing platform, where visitors will be able to witness a different specie of gibbon and he will enjoy being closer to humans. Guinness loves to sing and it is noticeably a different call to the other gibbons here at the GRP. Sadly, he will not be able to be released back into the wild and will live out the rest of his life here at the project. |

Gibby
was collected from Bangkok in February 2008 at the age of 6years, after being kept as a pet. Her owner looked after her very well, however Gibby has a very loud singing voice and neighbours started to complain. A decision was then made for her to be donated to the project. Gibby is a different specie of gibbon, known as a Golden-Cheeked gibbon which are native to Indo-China. Gibby sucks her thumb, which is often seen as a comfort if they were removed from their mother at a young age. At present we are awaiting blood tests for her disease status before she can be moved to our rehabilitation site, where she will be part of our education at our viewing area. |

Sumlee
our oldest male, was born wild in 1984 and after being bought from a poacher in Ranong, lived with his owner in Bangkok for 18 years until he became terminally ill and arranged for him to be collected by GRP. Upon arrival at the owner’s house we found him close to his owner’s dead body. He was very weak as the neighbours had tried to poison him. Sumlee is housed on his own as he has never bonded with any other human or gibbon, and can therefore never be released. |

Rumthai,
born wild in 2001 was brought into the GRP, she was one of the most distressing cases we have ever seen. Kept inside a tiny birdcage with virtually no room to move, her spine and arms had grown deformed and she was extremely small and weak. She has since improved greatly and can now use her arms to brachiate a little, although she still prefers to pick things up with her feet. Her deformities are too advanced to be reversed and therefore she cannot be released into the wild. |
