Gabriella Skollar has been working for the Gibbon Conservation Center (GCC) since 2005. The mission of the GCC is to promote the conservation, study and care of gibbons through public education and habitat preservation. The GCC houses 37 gibbons, representing five of the twenty species, one of which is critically endangered.
Gabriella graduated in 2004 with a Master’s degree in Biology at the University of Szeged, in Hungary. She first became involved with gibbons when her University adviser asked her to record Kaszat, a northern white-cheeked gibbon in the Szeged Zoo.
After many hours of early morning recording and observation, it became her passion to study gibbon vocalization. Gabriella moved to the U.S. in 2005 to work as a volunteer caregiver and researcher at the GCC, initially supported by the Rosztoczy Scholarship. In 2007, she became a full-time Primate Caregiver and Research Assistant. In November 2011, after the passing of Alan Mootnick, the Founder of the GCC, Gabriella became responsible for the day-to-day care and health of the gibbons, and the supervision of other caregivers, maintenance staff and volunteers. In January 2014 Gabriella became the Director of the GCC,
