For over a century the villagers of Barekuri, north-east India’s biodiversity hotspot, have coexisted with the country’s only ape species, the hoolock gibbon.

But this harmony stands in fragile ecological balance. Mohit Chutia, a 55-year-old farmer and father, has been taking care of one gibbon family while raising his own. When researcher Ishika Ramakrishna arrives to study human-gibbon interactions, she joins forces with Mohit and the villagers to tackle the gibbons’ urgent population decline, endangered by habitat loss, deforestation and industrial catastrophe.

Reminds back of my childhood days💚 It was told to us to receit to improve our pronounciation.
ahhhh i hurt so much hearing twik crying 🙁
Thank you, Mohit.
I wish people all around were as understanding as Mohit. These animals need our help, we have destroyed their homes. The government should intervene and work to protect all endangered species at all costs. We don't own this planet, it's not just ours.
How terrible at 09:30 is that gibbon dead from smoke inhalation? Or just in shock from the fire? Oil is such big business everywhere but it’s such a fine line between safety and disaster… so many countless times we’ve seen oil spills and blowouts. Yet nobody learns.
The documentary is very beautiful. I really loved watching it.
Mohit Chutia is a loving human.
❤ BEAUTIFUL PEACE
❤ BEAUTIFUL BHARAT
Wow what a fantastically captured behaviour between all the gibbons 🎉❤
Long life to you folks.
I adore gibbons so much. We have to protect them and keep them wild and free.
If you want to save them, then Human should go away from their home.
There should not be any contact between human and those gibbons.
Because Human will destroy everything 👈

The amount of depth and rawness this documentary has is incredible. It's because of people like Mohit, local biodiversity thrives. Hat's off to the team of guardian for this documentary and shoutout to the wildlife biologists and conservationalists working day and night to protect the species. We want more of India's biodiversity showcased on this channel.
My heart feels warm
Please tag anant ambani for this.
