Rehabilitation program

protecting the infant from other group

The
essential of the rehabilitation takes place in
the aviaries. The project is not a simple
reintroduction. Firstly, it must be an
apprenticeship to the reappearance of some
essential natural behaviors for the survival of
the specie in the wild: way of feeding, movements,
couple life, odes...
The
rehabilitation program will take a number of
years and is composed of several stages (formation
of groups, observations of the social behaviors
so as to determine affinities in view to form
some couples, diminution of the visual contact
with the human being).
The
Gibbon is monogamous and the social group is
composed of the couple and some gibbon cubs (2, 3).
Then a single individual can’t join a group
already formed.
It
is essential that the natural automatisms (call,
games...) reappear through the group and the
couple.
At
the end of the process, the target of the
releasing is the specie continuity and the
freedom for the concerned individuals, this precious donation from nature that Men have stolen from them...
