About the Bornean white-bearded gibbon

The Bornean white-bearded gibbon (Hylobates albibarbis), also known as the Bornean agile gibbon or southern gibbon, is a species of gibbon endemic to southern Borneo. It is an endangered species, due to the ongoing logging of tropical forests between the Kapuas and Barito rivers. Additional issues of concern to the endangerment of white-bearded gibbons also threaten other arboreal primates.

The white-bearded gibbon is very similar to other gibbons in their behaviour and their frugivorous diet. The Bornean white-bearded gibbon was formerly considered a subspecies of the agile gibbon but based on recent DNA research, some now classify it as a separate species.
