2019 saw a record high in the population of the endangered black-cheeked gibbon at the Bokeo Nature Reserve. Many hope that 2020 will bring another record. The population of the reserve increases either when new gibbons migrate to the region or when a breeding pair successfully delivers an infant. Experts have said that there is little reason to expect a sudden influx of the near-extinct ape this year. Further, there is considerable evidence that fewer gibbons will pair up this year than did last year, and it is highly unlikely that these breeding pairs will produce more infants per pair than did last year’s pairs. Thus, it is clear that the gibbon population will not experience another year of record growth.
