Threats
The Annam’s gibbon, which was only discovered in 2010, was immediately assessed by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) as a highly endangered species due to deforestation and poaching. The young are captured to be sold as pets while the adults are killed to use their meat as a food resource and any other parts as ingredients in traditional medicine.
