A family of gibbons, Brany, Seagame and their wild born baby 'Phuket’, has just released to the forest. Currently, the preparation of a new release (Epson, Sylvia and baby Anda) has just started, much works need to be done as well as continuous observation and follow up study of the previous released is very essential.
