About the event
ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: Gibbons are small arboreal apes that mark their territory by vocalizing (singing) when traveling within the borders of where they live. The gibbon song, primarily performed as a coordinated duet between mated pairs, has multiple forms and functions and can serve as a territorial advertisement, strengthen the mated pair's bond, and express cohesion and bonding.
Gabriella Skollar will share with The LABC her experiences as the Director of the Gibbon Conservation Center in Santa Clarita, CA, as well as her work studying gibbon vocalization for her PhD at UCLA. Through her studies, she aims to support gibbon conservation efforts and advance their care, as gibbons are among the most threatened primate species globally. Gabriella plans to dedicate her life to protecting and studying gibbons, as well as educating others about these fascinating primates.
