The Hoolock Gibbons, currently being kept at a rescue centre in Garo Hills, will soon be relocated to Meghalaya State Zoo at Umtrew in Ri Bhoi District.
The Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary in Jorhat covers 21 sq. km and is a key habitat for the Western Hoolock Gibbon. It’s home to around 125 gibbons, organised into over two dozen family groups. It stands as India’s sole protected area named after a primate species.
