S1, E1: Ash is passionate about protecting India's only ape: the hoolock gibbon. Spending most of their lives in the canopy and rarely coming to ground means their populations are hugely threatened by deforestation, with their population decreasing by 90 per cent in just 30 years. Four years ago, Ashwika travelled to Assam and met a gibbon that touched her heart, and from that moment on she has wanted to protect them.
