The releasing is one of the most beautiful moment that we can live, this is the reward of many efforts but this is also, regarding the near future of the individual a constant anxiety until that the following prove its perfect adaptation.

 

The releasing

 

 

The releasing process is composed of several steps:  

-Preparation of the program in the natural habitat in order to define the possibilities on the chosen area. This will be followed by a botanic expert evaluation and the creation of a camp.

-After, the releasing itself. Before the gibbons have been submitted under some final exams.

-Then, the following of the individuals in the natural environment and some ethologic observations. This following is necessary to make sure of the future of these individuals in their new environment. These daily followings will be spaced out after a certain time

 

The reintroduction of individuals in the wild meets some problems due to the aggressive contacts with wild populations.

Indeed, some attacks are often observed and they can cause death. These factors can explain the minor number of the reintroduction initiatives.

But these difficulties don’t have to be an obstacle to the project, because a certain rigor has already led to good results.

Thus, the reintroduction program must answer to major problems, like the necessity to respect the individuals, the sanitary aspects and the wild populations. So a rigorous protocol and following are necessary.

Generally begin, no food is necessary but we will have to feed several individuals during the critical period after the releasing when the stress can force them to escape to some areas poor in fruit and food.

The interest of such politic of rehabilitation is to contribute, at the end, to the perpetuation of the wild populations.
