The gibbons sing less in disturbed and fragmented habitats compared to their normal rich habitats, and therefore, it may be argued that in fragmented habitat their presence can be missed due to lack in hearing the songs.
The main cause of the decline of the Hoolock gibbon is the destruction of its habitat due to agriculture, plantations, illegal felling and hunting.

 Gibbon Taxonomy to be Utilized by Breeding Facilities
Two of the purposes for breeding gibbons in captivity are to retain species and subspecies diversity and to create a viable gene pool, with the ultimate goal of releasing offspring into protected native habitat.
Accurate identification of an individual gibbon's species may be complicated within some gibbon species by 1) the variety of coat colors, 2) the existence of different colors for the two sexes, 3) the occurrence of coat color changes at sexual maturity, and in all species by 4) the impact of malnutrition and housing (e.g.

 IPS 2004 Symposia
While the radiation of gibbons comprises the majority of extant hominoid taxa, disproportionately little attention has been paid to the study of the behavior, ecology and population biology of wild gibbons.
While early gibbon studies focusing on single or a few groups suggested that gibbon social organization is fairly uniform across and within populations, more recent studies have demonstrated an unexpected range of variation in gibbon dietary and social adaptations within and between populations.
As gibbons include several of the most endangered taxa on earth, and populations are the units upon which conservation efforts must focus, this symposium will devote particular attention to presentations involving the conservation status of threatened gibbon populations.
