With a total population of only 30 individuals, the Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is the world’s rarest ape and one of the world’s rarest mammals.

Also known as the Hainan black-crested gibbon, until 2019, the species was restricted to just 0.77 sq mi (2 sq km), as reported in 2017, within the Bawangling National Nature Reserve on the western side of Hainan Island in the South China Sea—a decrease from 5.4-6.18 sq mi (14-16 sq km) reported in 2014. In 2019, as reported by the conservation magazine Mongabay in May 2020, a Hainan gibbon family unit was discovered living outside the reserve and is continuing to thrive there. This is viewed as hope for the species’ future. These developments are attributed to conservation efforts, including local monitoring teams, a tree-planting program, and community education.
