INDIA'S LAST

摘要

Assam is best known for tea, but its subtropical forests also offer refuge to rare hoolock gibbons. Ali Wood meets the local people devoted to caring for India's only wild apes.When Kumud Ghosh wakes in his village amid the tea plantations of Assam he's greeted by a spine-tingling sound somewhere between the hoot of an owl and the howl of a wolf. As Ghosh leaves his home a second, lower-pitched voice joins in, and by the time he's walked the 2km stretch to Hollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary, the duet has reached a magnificent crescendo.
