All species of gibbon are endangered because of the destruction
to their habitat—tropical and subtropical rainforests of Southeast Asia—for logging and agriculture. Commercial trade
is prohibited. Many adults are killed so humans can have an
infant gibbon as a pet. Only four percent of their habitat
is protected.
Organizations such as Conservation International and World Wildlife Fund work to protect habitat for gibbons and other endangered species.
