Enjoy or cry. Last moments of a singing or is it talking 'White Handed Gibbon'. Indonesia and Malaysia (Borneo) destroy about 51 square kilometers of Gibbons habitat every day, equivalent to 300 football fields every hour. The world's fastest destroyer of forests including these Gibbons and many other apes, monkeys (Proboscis Monkey, Orang Utan), Pygmee Elephants, Birds and many more. I think this beautiful creature, talks with his far away neighbour ape.
Gibbons are (lesser) apes not monkeys!
Guess what they are talking about.....

Thank you for the message, it passes very well.
Ultimamente estoy subiendo mis videos a Vimeo por varias razones... Espacio, calidad de imagen, etc... pero también hay un motivo adicional: Se está creando una comunidad interesante de "editores y creadores" de videos, en la que se comparten, se envian y anuncian sus creaciones unos a otros, de una forma mucho más tranquila que en YouTube.
Hace algunos minutos, he recibido un correo electrónico de otro usuario de Vimeo, Jan van der Meer, que al parecer le gustaron mis videos de Producciones Irreductibles y se subscribió a mi canal en Vimeo... Por su parte, me envia uno de sus videos, que me ha parecido realmente impactante y que aquí posteo para dejar cinco minutos de reflexión...
Now I'm uploading my video to Vimeo for several reasons: Space, Cuality of images, etc... but there's another aditional reason: There is a interesting comunity of editors and video creators, who share, announce and upload videos, in a "pacific" way, more than YouTube.
A few minutes ago, I recibe a mail-message from another vimeo user, Jan van der Meer, who perhaps take a look to my videos of Producciones Irreductibles, y send me on of his videos, who look very impressive and I share here to give five minutes of reflexion...
More or less... My english it's worst than I think, but I hope you can understand this horrible translation :)
lol
De buitengewone en zeer waardevolle scènes, het geluid is uitstekend en over het geheel genomen, een grote video. Met de gibbon bovenop de boom is opmerkelijk.
With babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt you can translate almost anything to anything...
Reid above said: "Beauty, Tragic" ... indeed it is!
What can we do???
the sound is incredible what type of mics did you use?
I have never before seen them react to something so strongly.
Sent shivers up my spine....
What can we do IS the question?
When you're up against something as powerful as MONEY....co's that's what it comes down to.
Where there is profit involved, no voice, not even the Gibbons is loud enough to be heard above the chainsaws.
It makes me sick to my stomach.
Thank you so much and other Vimians (Vimeoists, Vimeosi, Vimeall) for your hartwarming replies.
As videographer you and I have a gift to tape the remaining beauty and show what is going on now or even produce some clips which make people think.
We don't really need supporting music just the right and good nature sounds. (BTW I use the Tomrig)
If your dogs start crying when they hear the gibbon sing or talk, as moviemaker my haert is also bouncing and hands iching to do something with that.
So I've got an idea which could be nice to all who read this and want to join in. So....
Please please make a tape of your dogs infront of your tube speakers and please put it on Vimeo.
Vimeoists can make their own ape/dog transilation underneath it! In Holland we also watch shows with gifted presentators who can understand what animals are saying and feel, so we can ask them also for a transilation.
I am sure TV shows will broadcast it or will be interested. So in the subtitles you or we can produce an imaginary transilation. You like the idea???
As a true Animal Planet fan we all love nature and animals. Its also ideal to improve your photographer skills. AP dicovered that too and organized a serial about wildlife videographers.
This clip is part of a new serial I'm making in between my work, my aim is a contribution to show the world what next generations (our children) will be missing soon because of local short term policy thinking and of course greed. We hope that some local politician behind his desk or his partner and children will see clips like this on Vimeo or YT and starts thinking because they will notice another important income on tourism is declining now. Tourists don't like oil palm plantations where no animallive is seen. So thats why we went 2 years ago to Borneo and got as many footage (and sound) of the highly endangered Proboscis Monkey (just this one to concentrate on) can't do them all endangered species!. Read all about it on proboscismonkey.org Thanks for your support and time and please please produce that clip asap!
Kind regards
Jan
