   1) Table structure cannot be changed.
−
- Text paragraphs and images are not restricted, so text format and images can be chosen as desired.  
+
   2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.  
−
- Tables and keyword lists are extracted as data, and so have the following restrictions:
+
   3) To make information comparable across wiki pages, keywords must be taken from the list of permitted words, or added to the list of permitted keywords. This is why we use official lists, e.g., IUCN classification lists, in our tables.

A 2011 survey confirmed at least three gibbon groups in Son Kim 2 Commune and one group in Song Hon Commune, and according to interviews, a few groups are found in the border area with Laos. In the late 1990s and early 2000s gibbons were recorded on several occasions (Rawson et al. 2011).

In 2010, Hương Sơn had 74.6kha of natural forest, extending over 76% of its land area. In 2021, it lost 679ha of natural forest, equivalent to 352kt of CO₂ emissions ([https://www.globalforestwatch.org/ Global Forest Watch]).

Asia > Vietnam > Huong Son Forest

Summary

Loading map...
  • Northern white-cheeked gibbons (Nomascus leucogenys) are present in Huong Son Forest.
  • It has been estimated that a minimum of 3 groups occur in the site.
  • The gibbon population trend is unknown.
  • The site has a total size of 300 km².
  • Key threats to gibbons are hunting and logging.
  • Conservation activities are not documented.

Site characteristics

The site is located in north-central Vietnam, in the province of Ha Tinh. Part of the site is managed by the Huong Son State Forest Company, and the other part is designated as the ‘Ngan Pho River Protection Forest’ (Rawson et al. 2011).

Table 1. Basic site information for Huong Son Forest

Area 300 km²
Coordinates 18.522052, 105.244000
Designation Timber concession and protection forest
Habitat types Plantations, subtropical/tropical moist lowland forest

IUCN habitat categories Site designations

Ape status

A 2011 survey confirmed at least three gibbon groups in Son Kim 2 Commune and one group in Song Hon Commune, and according to interviews, a few groups are found in the border area with Laos. In the late 1990s and early 2000s gibbons were recorded on several occasions (Rawson et al. 2011).
