However, poaching and habitat loss are major threats to this species in WEFCOM, as they are canopy dwellers, rarely setting foot on the forest floor. They are classified as Endangered by IUCN. Therefore, to protect and potentially increase the population of Lar gibbons in the Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary which is one of protected areas in WEFCOM.

Brockelman, the first researcher who started a study of gibbon in Khao Yai National Park, Dr. Chanpen Saralamba, a lecturer from Mahidol University and Ms. Mayuree Umponjan, WCS Thailand staff delivered a lecture about “Triangulation” which is a technique of gibbon population and density estimation. Participants received the training materials at the registration. Prof. Dr. Warren Y. Brockelman, the first researcher who started a study of gibbon in Khao Yai National Park, and Dr. Chanpen Saralamba, a lecturer from Mahidol University delivered lectures about “The Ecology of Lar Gibbons” and “Triangulation” which is methods of gibbon density estimation. Participants have learnt and practiced in gibbon survey by using triangulation. They will then bring data to estimate for Lar gibbon population size and density. krijiravanich@wcs.org Tue, 29 Nov 2016 01:59:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:9416
