We strongly support the conservation of gibbons in their natural habitat. We have the second largest group of gibbons in the world, other than their country of origin, including six of the eleven extant species. The lecture tours last from 1 to 1 hours and are generally given in the morning on Saturdays, Sundays, or Mondays. We have given tours to private groups, clubs, zoo docents, elementary, high school and college students of anthropology, biology and psychology.
Lectures vary according to the interests of each tour group.
In lectures for children, we require that there be at least one adult for every six children under 12 years of age. Our main concern is the safety of visitors and the gibbons. With that in mind, we have some health precautions that all visitors must follow. Visitors must be in good health and not have had any recent contact with any person or animal with an infectious disease. For the continuing health of the gibbons and visitors, visitors must remain with their group and stay a minimum of 5 feet from all enclosures.
