“As the clouds languidly clear over a rainforest in West Java, Indonesia, the haunting serenity of the scene before me is suddenly pierced by the unmistakable clamor of gibbon song. It’s a sound that would bring a smile to the most hardened of souls, and it certainly lifts the spirits of myself and the team, who are on assignment for Wildlife Asia, documenting the release of a family of Silvery (Javan) gibbons.”
