The Unlikely Sanctuary of Los Angeles' Hidden Hills Fifty years ago, a self taught primatologist and home painter responded to a newspaper ad for a pet gibbon.
This unlikely encounter marked the beginning of the Gibbon Conservation Center, now a renowned institution dedicated to the care and well being of gibbons.
The center's director, Gabi Skollar, inherited a legacy from her predecessor, Alan Mootnick, who had transformed the sanctuary into a thriving hub for research and conservation.
