The Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park has the most concentrated, best preserved, and largest contiguous tropical rainforests in China. Bawangling, an area within the Park, is known for its abundant natural genetic resources and is the habitat for Hainan gibbons.

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Hainan gibbons are the world's rarest primate. There are only 36 Hainan gibbons for now. Their late sexual maturity is often considered a threat to their survival. Generally, it takes gibbons 8 to 9 years to reach sexual maturity, and they typically only have one baby every 2 years.

Delving into the world of gibbon sounds is an effective way to gain valuable insights into their behavior. Huawei, together with IUCN and the Hainan National Park Research Institute, has deployed a real-time monitoring system. This AI system is made up of audio-monitoring devices that are connected through a wireless network. Gibbons' audio data can be continuously sent to the cloud for a period of 90 days.
