A research team from Fauna & Flora International's (FFI) Vietnam primate programme has observed a record number of the Critically Endangered cao vit gibbon. During a two-week census survey, the team (led by biologists Nguyen The Cuong and Brian Crudge) recorded a total of 129 gibbons in the Cao Vit Gibbon Conservation Area in Cao Bang Province in northern Vietnam, the last known habitat for this species.
