EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving showcases the Western hoolock gibbon, Hoolock hoolock, an endangered primate species native to the eastern Himalayas and northwestern Myanmar. The image, taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Monkeys, published in Edinburgh in 1844, was produced by W.H. Lizars after an illustration by James Stewart. The Western hoolock gibbon, also known as the Hoolock gibbon or the western hoolock gibbon, is a medium-sized ape with long, powerful arms and a short, curved snout. They are characterized by their striking white fur on the chest, arms, and inner thighs, which contrasts sharply with their dark brown or black fur on the back and limbs. Sadly, this magnificent creature is currently listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their population is estimated to be fewer than 1,000 individuals, primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. The Western hoolock gibbon is an important part of the biodiversity of the region and plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of their forest habitats. They are also an iconic species for many local communities, who value their cultural significance and the important ecotourism opportunities they provide. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of conserving the Western hoolock gibbon and their forest habitats. Through ongoing conservation efforts and collaborative efforts between local communities, governments, and conservation organizations, we can help ensure the survival of this remarkable primate species for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
