ABSTRACT The lack of knowledge regarding the basic ecological traits an endangered species may lead to traps in habitat restoration efforts. Understanding ranging ecology is essential avoiding these traps. Hainan gibbon ( Nomascus hainanus ), world's rarest primate, reportedly takes refuge suboptimal montane habitats and occupies abnormally large home range, resulting suggestions for enhancing quality with high priority. However, conservation actions are not based on solid science. For first time, we habituated two groups gibbon, studied their over a year from January December 2022. We found that average range size was 164.5 ± 70.6 ha (95% KDE‐href) 155.2 71.1 MCP), which comparable other gibbons represents adaptive trait response heterogeneous habitat. Furthermore, have shown preference higher‐altitude between 800 1100 m, where food more abundant than low‐altitude habitats. Our findings, combined evidence favorable conditions short interbirth intervals indicate meet gibbons' life‐history requirements suitable them. idea “montane suboptimal” cognitive trap. Given isolated approaching saturation, suggest prioritizing corridor construction enable rapidly gain access forests.
