About HURO Programme in Dakopgre, Tura

The broad aim of the project is the conservation of the Western Hoolock Gibbon (ranked amongst the most endangered primate species in the world, IUCN, 2010) in the Northeastern Indian states. The Huro Programme actions include wildlife laws implementation, confiscation, habitat protection initiatives, research projects, rehabilitation and reintroduction programs.
Today HURO shares its activities between its rehabilitation center, its local medium school and the chosen reintroduction sites and patrolling areas. We believe that our action can be made durable only if we success to reinforce Western Hoolock Gibbon population by conducting reintroduction according to IUCN criterion possibly supported by wild to wild translocation.
