Project Description
The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GRP) has been rescuing and rehabilitating white handed gibbons from the pet trade and tourist entertainment industry in Thailand since 1992. In the past ten years GRP has successfully reintroduced families of gibbons into the wild and re-established an independent, breeding, wild population on Phuket.
GRP is a unique animal welfare and conservation organisation, working to rehabilitate unwanted or confiscated gibbons from the pet trade and tourist industry and to reintroduce suitable candidates back to the wild.
