Hey folks! Did you know October 24 is International Gibbon Day? 🐒✨ These “singers of the forest” use their powerful calls to show how healthy tropical forests are. When gibbons are jamming, it means the jungle is thriving!
On the Chinese mainland, conservationists and tech-savvy citizen scientists are tuning in:
- Audio monitoring stations pick up gibbon calls deep in remote reserves on the Chinese mainland 🌳
- Mobile apps let you record and upload forest sounds in real time 📱
- Data from these calls helps experts map out safe habitats and track populations 🗺️
These efforts aren’t just local—countries and regions across South and Southeast Asia are looking to gibbons as a biodiversity barometer. By listening to their resonant tunes, we get a snapshot of forest health from Assam’s jungles to Borneo’s canopy.
Want to help? Share your forest sound recordings with #GibbonDay and spread the word. Together, we can keep those echoes alive! 🎶🌍
