Researchers have found a Hainan gibbon cub, which means the gibbon population has recovered to 33 in five families in South China's island province of Hainan, sources with the provincial forestry authority said Tuesday. Hainan gibbons, known as the world's rarest primates, are identified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
