“The birth of the baby brings GCS closer than ever to being able to release our first gibbon family, after 10 years of operations,” it said in a statement.
GCS said the birth of the baby marks a milestone for wildlife conservation in Malaysia, as gibbons are an endangered species, and the successful rehabilitation of one individual gibbon can take as long as 15 years.
“Gibbons are the singers and rockstars of the forest and we all hope to hear baby Axel singing in the wild one day,” it said.
