Primates of the Gunung Leuser Ecosystem
Leann MacDonald
Twice this past year 1996-1997 the grade 6, 7, 8 class of ISOL took trips to the Gunung Leuser Ecosystem. Both trips we took were to the Sekunder area near Besitang on the East side of the ecosystem. The observation site that we worked at is on the border of the forest and the 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) that was slashed and burnt three years ago. The scientists in the area are trying to compare the life in the somber wasteland to the small amount of lush, succulent forest left. The Sekunder area is lowland - that is why scientists are actively studying that area. Because the Sekunder area is lowland, it is home to some of the last wild Sumatran Elephants, Sumatran Tigers and Sumatran Rhinos. The two trips that we made were to explore and examine the forest with the scientists. Our first trip from November 4th to 6th was to choose a topic to study. The second trip from April 14th to 16th was to study the topic of our choice. On the first trip I saw many animals and plants in the extraordinary jungle. Most interesting to me were the primates. The primates of the area are the orangutan, the white-handed gibbon, the siamang, the long-tailed and pig-tailed macaques, Tomas-leaf monkeys and the silver-leaf monkeys. There is also another very small primate the slow lorry, which scientists are not sure exists in this area. When we were there we also conducted a survey of the small mammals, in the area. We set up small traps in many different places - in low brush, in moist areas and in dry areas. The traps had trap doors that snap down when the animal pulls on the baited hook. For bait we used bananas and peanut butter. We caught many different species of field rats. The most common was the Malaysian Field Rat.

which runs the Kalaweit Gibbon Conservation Program in Indonesian Borneo
August 2001
Klassi at 3 months In 1998 the Etho-Passion Association (E-P), which is based in France, undertook a three-month expedition to Borneo. The Association's mission is to work for the conservation of primates. Our goal was to study the status of wild gibbon populations. We first looked around Kalimantan Tengah, the central region of Borneo, at the foot of the Schwaner Mountain Range, and in the Bukit Baka Bukit Raya (BBBR) National Park. Following our survey of this area, E-P decided to establish the first program for the conservation of the gibbons of Borneo (the Bornean agile gibbon and the Mueller's gibbon). It took seven months to complete the negotiations. The project started on 9 September 1999, in the BBBR National Park. It was named "Kalaweit," which is the word for gibbon in the Dayak Ngaju dialect. The main reasons behind the birth of our project were: * the shrinkage of gibbon habitat, following the 1997-98 fires on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. Two million hectares (50 million acres) of forest were burned, according to the Environmental Investigation Agency

KSBK Helps Confiscate Primates in Jakarta
by Rosek Nursahid
November 2002
KSBK (Animal Conservation for Life) has been very successful in its recent work to recover endangered animals that are being kept or sold illegally in Indonesia. August 2002 was an especially busy month for our organization. KSBK members with confiscated gibbon Java’s dismal "bird markets"
One of the primary activities of KSBK is to place constant pressure on the Indonesian government to enforce wildlife protection laws. In Indonesia, as elsewhere, the illegal trade in wild animals has been a serious threat to wildlife conservation. We believe that essentially all primates offered for sale in our country’s "bird markets" are wild-caught. Indonesia’s "bird markets" are actually open-air animal markets, where mammals and reptiles of all descriptions-as well as birds-are sold for use as pets or meat under miserable conditions. Primates such as orangutans, siamangs, gibbons, slow lorises, and ebony langurs are freely traded at Javanese bird markets. The two largest bird markets in Java are Pramuka and Barito. Both are located in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city.

    http://members.tripod.com/uakari/hylobates_lar.html
    White-handed Gibbon ( Hylobates lar
    MORPHOLOGY:
    This species has relatively long forearms which assist it in suspensory behavior . This species has throat sac located beneath the chin to help enhance the calls. The white-handed gibbon lacks a tail, caudal vertebrae. The average body mass for an adult male white-handed gibbon is around 5.7 kilograms, and for the female it is around 5.3 kilograms. Pelage color for this species ranges from dark brown to beige.
    RANGE:
    The white-handed gibbon is found in the countries of Burma, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This species is found in semideciduous monsoon forests and tropical evergreen forests, and these are either of primary or secondary forest types.
    ECOLOGY:
    The white-handed gibbon is a frugivorous species, but will also consume immature leaves and insects. The white-handed gibbon prefers to consume fruits high in sugar such as the fig ( Ficus ). This an arboreal and a diurnal species. This species sleeps and rests in the emergent trees (Leighton, 1987).
    LOCOMOTION:
    The white-handed gibbon is a true brachiator which means it moves by suspensory behavior (Fleagle, 1988). The brachiation is of a type where the white-handed gibbon throws itself from tree to tree over gaps of 10 meters or more using there arms (Fleagle, 1988). This species also climbs when moving slowly and feeding (Fleagle, 1988). This species is also able to move for short distances by

    GIBBON VIDEO NOTES (with a note on C.R.Carpenter) (revised, 11/23/02) 1 Clarence Ray Carpenter Carpenter, C. R. (1940). A field study of the behavior and social relations of the gibbon (Hylobates lar ). Comparative Psychology Monographs 5), 1-212. (Reprinted in Carpenter, C. R. (1964) Naturalistic behavior of nonhuman primates . University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press. Carpenter was a comparative psychologist. His research, earlier with pigeons, then monkeys, concerned sexuality and social relationships. His gibbon work was supported by a private foundation (as was all research in those days)The Committee for Research in Problems of Sex. Robert Yerkes had been chairman of this committee and supported Carpenter's research. (See Haraway, 1989, pp.70-71 and ch. 5) His last work was on control of aggression. Previously the "Committee" had looked to "primitive" human cultures to learn about the original human condition regarding sex but this came to be seen as hopeless. Non-human primates seemed more promising. Carpenter's views fit right in: ".....there are basic human needs, drives, and types of behavior which have elements in common with similar functions of the non-human primate level. For example many aspects of sexual behavior are similar in man and the apes. Perhaps in these primates one may observe anlagen (approximately basic "plan" or "blueprint", JL) of human motivation and behavior, free from cultural veneers and far enough removed to avoid the well-known errors involved in man's study of himself. (Carpenter, 1940/1964, p. 160)."

    Gibbons Gibbons are long armed tree dwelling primates who are members of the APE family as are chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans and humans. Gibbons are a Monogamous Species, parents often staying together for life. They are peaceful social creatures and are primarily vegetarians. Gibbons are primarily found in the Rainforests of Southeast Asia. Their songs are often described as the most beautiful vocalizations ever created by a wild land mammal. Populations of gibbon species are rapidly disappearing due to habitat destruction, poaching, and the illegal pet trade. F.A.U.N.A. is working to educate the public about these issues with the goal of discouraging individuals from purchasing primates and encouraging individuals to support conservation initiatives.

    Gibbon Systematics and Species Identification Courtesy of Dr Thomas Geissmann A study of wild and captive gibbons and museum specimens, and a survey of the literature, suggests that gibbons (genus Hylobates) include 12 species, which form four distinct groups (genera Hylobates, Bunopithecus, Nomascus, and Symphalangus): these are the 44-chromosome gibbons (including the Hylobates lar group and H. klossii: 5 species); the hoolock (Bunopithecus hoolock, 1 species); the crested gibbons or concolor group (4 species); and the siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus, 1 species). A key for the identification of adult gibbons based on visual characteristics is presented, together with distribution maps of all recognised species (12). A detailed description of fur colour variation and colour photographs of all species are presented in the Photo Gallery .

    Written by: Barbara A. Sullivan
    INTRODUCTION
    In the early dawn hours within Southeast Asia the gibbon, a member of the lesser apes, begins its daily vocalizations that can be heard for miles. Whether harmonizing in duet with its mate or signifying its presence to another, the gibbon symbolizes the delicate balance that exists between nature and man. Within the past century, gibbon populations have declined as a result of habitat loss within the rainforest. Land exploitation by the agricultural and logging industries, compounded by the illegal pet trade of infant gibbons to restaurant bars and monasteries has caused all eleven species of gibbons to declared as endangered by the USDI, Appendix I of CITES (Nowak, 1999). One species, Hylobates concolor proves as an excellent example of how quickly a population can be disseminated due to human encroachment of its habitat. In 1977 the H. concolor population was estimated to be 228,000 worldwide. In 1987 the population decreased to 131,000. In 1983 counts were between 10,500 and 14, 000. As of today H. concolor

    Laos, Vietnam, Hainan, southeastern China and eastern Cambodia. Status
    All gibbons are classified as endangered, and this species is more endangered than other gibbon species. Habitat conversion and logging, as well as military activities, have had a negative impact on habitats that support gibbons. Habitat
    High canopy of tropical rain forests. Hylobates Niche
    Prefers small, scattered sources of ripened, pulpy fruit (which brings them into competition more with birds and squirrels than with other primates), but also eats buds, young leaves and some invertebrates. Family members feed together at large food sources, but otherwise forage alone, coming together occasionally to groom, rest or (at night) sleep. Daily calling maintains pair bonds and excludes neighboring family groups from the family territory. Also, confrontations at territorial boundaries occur about once every 5 days; these include calling, acrobatic displays and, when necessary, males chasing intruders. Average home range for gibbons is about 8.5 acres, but varies greatly.
