Working for primate welfare and conservation
A recent study published in the prestigious American Journal of Primatology sheds light on the long-term effects of social isolation and inadequate living conditions on chimpanzees rescued from captivity. The research, led by Fundación MONA and the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), focuses on the behaviour of these animals after being rescued from their roles as pets or in the entertainment industry.
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.
