Working for primate welfare and conservation
Onsite course, 6th edition
In this course, we will explore the different environmental, behavioural and emotional aspects that must be addressed to improve the welfare of captive primates. We will focus on one of the most powerful tools to motivate natural behaviours and alleviate the negative consequences of life in captivity: environmental enrichment.

The first was Suzie and a few months later, Hugo. And it is because of him that this arrival makes us especially happy because it is not only a new welcome but a family reunion.
Un año más, tenemos la suerte de poder ofrecerte la “mona más mona” de la mano de Jordi Roca, Alejandra Rivas y su equipo de Rocambolesc.
At the beginning of this month, we attended the congress organised by the Veterinary Association for the Assistance to Exotic and Wild Fauna (AVAFES), where we were invited to present some of our research work.
Ensuring proper sleep is essential for the health of all animals, including chimpanzees. Many studies have demonstrated that sleep plays a crucial role in physical and behavioral regulation, and sleep disruptions may cause negative consequences for both. This study made at MONA explores how environmental conditions and nocturnal disturbances affect the sleep and daytime behavior of sanctuary-housed chimpanzees, respectively.

Worldwide, more than 50% of all non-human primate species are in danger of extinction and many of them have been little studied, so their study and conservation is crucial for their preservation.
This course offers a transversal and multidisciplinary approach to learning about the origins of Primatology, understanding the current moment with its main areas of study and exploring the future challenges of Primatology and primate conservation in the Anthropocene era.
