This dataset contains approximately 10 hours of audio that contained calls of the critically endangered Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus). The audio data was collected in the Bawangling National Nature Reserve, Malawi using 8 Song Meter SM3 recorders. The sampling rate was set to 9,600Hz and the recordings were collected between March to August 2016.

The annotations files are in (.svl) format which is compatible with SonicVisualiser (https://www.sonicvisualiser.org/). Each audio file has a corresponding .svl file. Each .svl has segments of audio that were manually annotated as either ''gibbon" (presence class) or "no-gibbon" (absence class) -- this dataset can be used to train a binary classification model.

The audio files are provided in "Audio.zip" and the manually verified annotation in "Annotations.zip".
