Hainan gibbons protection has become a successful case for the world to study, said Zhang, who is also former president of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and former president of the 174th-177th executive board of UNESCO.

Without any human intervention and only protection measures, the number of Hainan gibbons in Bawangling National Nature Reserve in Changjiang county, which is part of the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, has increased to 37, and their family groups remain quite stable, said Zhang.
