Summary
- Southern Yellow-cheeked Gibbons (Nomascus gabriellae) are present in Chu Yang Sin National Park.
- It has been estimated that a minimum of 8 groups occur in the site.
- The gibbon population trend is unknown.
- The site has a total size of 669 km².
- Key threats to gibbons are hunting and logging.
- Conservation activities have focused on improving the management of the site, e.g., improvement of law enforcement.
Site characteristics
The site is located in southern Vietnam; it was initially designated as a nature reserve in 1986, and designated as a national park in 2002 (BirdLife International 2023, WDPA). The park encompasses a range of high mountains in the northern part of Da Lat plateau. Endemic bird species have been recorded at the site, the most important of which, from a conservation perspective, are Grey-crowned Crocias Crocias langbianis and Garrulax yersini, which are classified as globally endangered. The site was designated an Important Bird Area in 2002 (BirdLife International 2023).

Ape status
In 2010, eight groups of southern yellow-cheeked gibbons were recorded in an area of 2,500 ha within the park, documenting the first recent evidence of their presence (Rawson et al. 2011).

Conservation activities
A GEF project was implemented from 2006-2009 to strengthen management, including wildlife surveys and capacity building of local management agencies. Further support is required for activities which would also assist the conservation of southern yellow-cheeked gibbons, including park expansion and improved management capacity and law enforcement. Gibbon population surveys are needed to further determine the value of the site for gibbon conservation (Rawson et al. 2011).
