Working for primate welfare and conservation
The groups of chimpanzees living in our rehabilitation centre have revealed new evidence about the use of tools and manual dexterity in our closest relatives. By observing how these primates use branches to extract food from artificial termite mounds, researchers have discovered behaviours that could help us better understand the evolution of our own manual skills.
Fundació MONA has been invited by the Pan-African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) to participate in its latest annual workshop, titled “Protecting Wild Primates“, reaffirming our commitment to conservation and animal welfare at an international level.
PASA, the largest network of sanctuaries dedicated to the protection, rehabilitation, and release of great apes and monkeys in Africa, organises these seminars as part of its mission to unite global efforts in the fight against poaching, the illegal animal trade, and the abuse of these species. This year’s meeting was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, and brought together the leading African rescue centres, with Fundació MONA being the only non-African organisation invited, an honour that highlights our global commitment to the cause.

It is very rare to obtain behavioural data on chimpanzees 17 years apart. But it is even more exceptional to obtain data while the chimpanzees are living in a private home.
That is why our latest scientific paper “Behavioural development of former pet chimpanzees, a decade after their arrival at the MONA Sanctuary”, is on the cover of the International Journal “Animals”.
