The GCC was founded in 1976 by Alan Richard Mootnick. The GCC houses the rarest group of apes in the Western Hemisphere, and is the only institution in the world to house and breed all four genera of gibbons. The GCC has successfully reproduced 7 gibbon species, and participates in Species Survival Plans (SSPs) The GCC currently houses 40 gibbons, representing 5 of the 17 living species. The GCC provides consulting services to zoos, museums, government agencies and individual scientists on species identification and gibbon care. The GCC assists gibbon rescue programs in Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia and India. Alan Mootnick, the GCC founder, passed away in November, 2011. Today the GCC is run by a handful of dedicated people who follow Alan’s standards on gibbon care, continuing his legacy and work.
