It is an endangered species, due to the ongoing logging of tropical forests between the Kapuas and Barito rivers.

[1][4][5] The Bornean white-bearded gibbon is commonly seen with grey or dark brown fur, a black face, and white beard.

They have been documented to swing up to 15 meters (49.2 feet) in a single leap and as fast as 55 kilometers (34 miles) per hour.

[6][7] The average life span for a white-bearded gibbon is 25 years, and it grows to anywhere from 17 to 25 inches (43 to 64 cm).

Additional threats for the white-bearded gibbon include forest fires due to El Niño events[2] and climate change.
