The founder of the project is Aurélien Brulé (better known as "Chanee Kalaweit"),[1] a young Frenchman born in 1979 in Fréjus (Var), in southern France.
In 2004, the association signed a national cooperation agreement with the Indonesian forestry department, permitting Kalaweit to rescue gibbons throughout Indonesia.
[6] It was created with the aim to sensitize the local population through music and the issuance of conservation messages in the intervals between songs.
However, the greatest danger represents the destruction of their natural environment (a problem shared with the Orangutan and the rest of the rich Indonesian biodiversity).
The destruction of the forest that serves as home is motivated primarily by the action of the timber factories and placement of palm oil plantations.
