PHNOM PENH: Cambodia is home to the largest remaining population of yellow-cheeked gibbons on the planet, with a stable population dwelling in the protected treetops of Mondulkiri province’s Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary.

The “Jahoo” eco-tourism site, covering 700 hectares and established mainly for the gibbons, offers guests a better than 90 per cent chance to see (and hear!) the rare monkeys in their natural habitat, as well as experience the way that the indigenous Bunong community lives in harmony with their surroundings.
