A recent review study published by Professor Fan Pengfei's research team from the School of Life Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University has overturned the viewpoint that endangered gibbons reproduce slowly and struggle to recover. The research confirms that the Hainan gibbon has a substantially shorter inter-birth interval than all other Nomascus gibbon species worldwide, delivering fresh scientific insights for the conservation of critically endangered species with tiny populations.
