Chanee Brulee has two unusual concerns in life - to save gibbons "with good music" and to help lonely gibbons fall in love.

Chanee has been fascinated by the animals since he was a 12 year old boy in France.

Now he lives and works in Borneo where he runs a gibbon sanctuary.

Unlike most other primates, gibbons mate for lif e, so one of Chanee's toughest tasks is as a gibbon matchmaker

He also DJs on Radio Kalaweit - which literally means Radio Gibbon in a local Bornean dialect.

He spoke to Matthew and told him all about gibbon song and his obsession with these unusual primates.
