Fundació Mona Riudellots de la Selva
The MONA Foundation is a non-profit organization created to put an end to illegal trafficking and mistreatment of primates in captivity and denounce their current situation of risk of extinction. It has established one of the few rescue centers in Europe that provides a lifelong home for rescued primates.
The animals that come to the MONA Foundation were circus artists, television artists, advertising models or even pets. The isolation, loneliness and mistreatment they receive in these environments generate physical and psychological problems.
MONA offers these primates a second chance to live as a family with their peers and in an environment that encourages their natural behavior and recovery.
At MONA they work to make everyone who visits their center aware of the importance of conserving and protecting nature and biodiversity. To help society become aware of the impact of our daily actions and how we can contribute to reversing the situation in which primates find themselves.
