The second issue of the Gibbon Journal is available now. It can be downloaded in PDF-format from the website of the Gibbon Conservation Alliance (www.gibbonconservation.org). The Gibbon Journal is published once per year by the Gibbon Conservation Alliance. It includes project reports on gibbon conservation and gibbon research, abstracts of recent theses on gibbons, reports on the activities of the Gibbon Conservation Alliance, details of future meetings, book reviews, and news of gibbon-related projects.

From the Editorial: The Gibbon Journal now accepts original papers written in German or English language. The title, summary and legends to figures and tables of each article will be available in either language. With this change, the editor hopes to make the Gibbon Journal not only accessible to a wider readership, but also attractive to a wider community of contributors.
