The Bornean Gibbon Hylobates muelleri, also known as Müller’s #gibbon or the Southern Grey Gibbon, is a master of the treetops and a celebrated forest singer. Their haunting duets echo across the rainforest canopy, keeping family bonds strong and warning intruders away. But these calls are growing rarer. The Müller’s gibbon is listed as #Endangered due to relentless forest loss caused by logging, #palmoil expansion, #fire, and #hunting. Their future depends on the survival of Borneo’s rainforest
