Swing and Sing - A Gibbon Rescue Story

Bella, a young white-handed gibbon in Malaysia was rescued from the wildlife pet trade by Bam, founder of the Gibbon Protection Society Malaysia (GPSM), Peninsular Malaysia’s only NGO dedicated to protecting their resident gibbons.

A victim of poaching, Bella suffered from physical and emotional trauma. But Bam’s efforts have helped Bella to recover, and now Bam’s mission is to rewild Bella and get her ready to be released back into the wild.

But Bam’s greatest challenge is to change mindsets in Malaysia, to get the public to understand the tragedy at hand, and to stop fueling the rampant wildlife trade.
