Gibbon Rehabilitation Project Enclosure - Further Information

The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GRP) in Phuket aims to rehabilitate abandoned pet gibbons prior to release into the wild. It was started in 1992 and relies almost totally on voluntary donations and volunteer help. The project is also open to the public, and contains various enclosures for gibbons at different stages of rehabilitation and displays giving some of the history of the site. As their website states, they aim to:

1. Develop a method to successfully rehabilitate white-handed gibbons back into their natural habitat
2. End the demand for the illegal use of gibbons as tourists attractions and as pets
3. To repopulate the last remaining rainforest in Phuket-Khao Pra Theaw Non-Hunting Area (National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department)
4. Create awareness of the importance of conservation of the environment.
5. Provide the opportunity for volunteers to study the white-handed gibbon.

Anyone wishing to volunteer at the GRP should contact the Volunteer Coordinator.
