The Sebangau National Park catchment is characterised by deep peatland and low elevation. The area is flooded for 8 months of the year, and there are very few hill ridges from which gibbons can sing. In terms of habitat type and topography, study areas are representative of the rest of the catchment, though threats (e.g., land conversion, logging) are less at the Natural Laboratory of Peat Swamp Forest (NLPSF) where the bulk of studies are conducted. The Sabangau catchment comprises three different forest types: mixed swamp forest, low pole forest and tall interior forest (Cheyne et al. 2008). The park was established in 2004.
