Conservation Status
Conservation hubFaces a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
Lar gibbons face significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation for agriculture and logging, as well as illegal hunting and capture for the pet trade. While conservation efforts are underway, including habitat protection and anti-poaching patrols, their populations continue to decline. Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness, supporting local communities who benefit from ecotourism, and providing funding for conservation initiatives through park entrance fees and responsible tour operators.
The lar gibbon, also known as the white-handed gibbon, is an endangered primate in the gibbon family, Hylobatidae. It is one of the better-known gibbons and is often kept in captivity.
