My family and I volunteered at the Highland Gibbon Farm near Mae Sot in Thailand. Here is a bit of information about the farm, taken from their website:
Nestled in a mountainous region of Thailand's Tak province, Highland Farm and Gibbon Sanctuary is a home for animals in need. We rescue mistreated and/or injured gibbon apes and other creatures from abusive environments, provide them with a home full of love, care and attention and educate the public of issues facing Thailand's wildlife and environment. As a non-profit organization Highland Farm is committed to:
• Rescuing and providing a permanent shelter for indigenous wildlife in need
• Reversing Thailand's vanishing forest by implementing and encouraging reforestation techniques
• Disseminating and collecting information about gibbons/wildlife and plant conservation for non-invasive research and educational purposes
This shot was taken while we were feeding the gibbons, this guy is asking for his portion :)
