Notas del editor
- So, First of all I would like to tell you a little bit of MONA, who we are and why we set up this sanctuary in Spain and how we are working to contribute not only to the welfare of primates at the sanctuary but to the conservation of primates in the wild. Here you can see where MONA is located in Europe. We are here in the north east of Spain in Catalunya. And here on the left you can see a general view of the sanctuary.
- So, First of all I would like to tell you a little bit of MONA, who we are and why we set up this sanctuary in Spain and how we are working to contribute not only to the welfare of primates at the sanctuary but to the conservation of primates in the wild. Here you can see where MONA is located in Europe. We are here in the north east of Spain in Catalunya. And here on the left you can see a general view of the sanctuary.
- 30 years ago it was very common to see chimps used as a props on Spanish beaches. These are photos of the typical jobs that chimpanzees that had been smuggled into Spain had to undertake. As you can see here these two on the left were shot maybe 30 years ago, but the other one on the right was taken only 4 or 5 years ago.
- Even though it’s unusual these days to see chimps doing such , many of these chimps from the 80s are still living in roadside zoos in appalling conditions having become too difficult to handle. Therefore the problem still exists today with chimps who survived to all those activities who are today in their twenties and are still living as pets or in roadside zoos or kept by animal trainers in circuses.
- This is the core of our team at the sanctuary in Spain starting from our trustees who founded Mona to our caregivers, research dept, seasonal volunteers and our loyal permanent volunteers. All of them are with us almost since the very beginning. Every of us are very active helping to run the sanctuary on a day by day basis. Except Amparo all have a background in primates. Amparo is one of the trustees and she is the person who takes care of all MONA accounts and papers. Not related to animals but essential to make MONA survive. We are a very young sanctuary and over these 10 years we have formed a multidisciplinary team of people. I would say that our team it is probably our main strength. And I am very proud of them. Due to the many roles that sanctuaries are involve on today it is essential to have people that are versatile and can be in charge of different roles apart from caring of the primates rescued. Persons that can be taking care of the apes in the morning and in the afternoon can be preparing a conference, or attending visitors, or even talking to the media. This is not easy to get but our team have adapted to that situation over this 10 years.
- So, with regards to the different roles that sanctuaries play nowadays (which is the main theme of this workshop) we would say that for many years sanctuaries have served an important role in rescuing apes and providing them with lifetime care. This has been their main role for many years. And for some of them this continues to be their main role and function. But we feel, today a sanctuary is not complete if at least does not have active education as part of its program. Whether it is trough its work with visitors, schools or even only educating their neighbours.
- But many sanctuaries have a whole range of duties . The diferent roles of the different sanctuaries obviously will depend on the team, the mentality of the people surrounding the sanctuary, the country in which it is based & its traditions, as well as the local Goverment ´s attitude and cooperation towards these issues. But everything will depend very much on the available resources because adding new duties to a sanctuary means adding new people to the team, new programmes and of course new expenses. And as you know very well salaries are probably the most difficult issue to get when you raise money for a sanctuary. So, again the skills of the team and the profesionalism are very important. It is better to be involve only on duties that we are capable to undertake.
- So, at MONA we are working hard on aspects we believe are very important for primate survival. Fields in which we have long-term expertise and experience. Education & Research are our main strength. Education & Research are the “pillars” to change the minds of those people in the big ´blue section´ that I was showing you in my previous slide. We work with children from locals schools and with everyday people (children and adults) who have heard about the sanctuary and have called us to book a tour. We do guided tours around the sanctuaries and we give the visitors some background knowledge about the threats that chimpanzees currently experience in the wild, habitat loss, the bushmeat trade etc. Then we make the visitors aware of the past history of the chimps that are in our sanctuary. We explain how we rehabilitate them into social groups and how important it is for them to return to being chimps after being used as pets or being exploited in the show business. And most important we make people aware what we can do as an individual to help primates to survive (And, most importantly, we try to communicate what we can do as an individual to help primates to survive Research In our research area we have a group of students and graduates that are collecting ongoing data on chimps at the sanctuary and prepare papers to publish and to present at different congresses. We also offer courses in Animal Behaviour and Conservation aiming to promote awareness and knowledge of primates.
- Other roles we have develop along these years are: 1- Taking care of supporters . We consider our sponsors, supporters and members as an extremely important part of our project. Without them we would not be able to keep our projects running. This is why we make sure that they are always well informed about our work and that they hear about the success stories of worldwide conservation efforts and in particular of reintroduction projects that are carried out in Africa. Most of our members, sponsors and supporters are part of that big blue section I was mentioning earlier and it is very important that we keep them motivated, informed and active at all times. 2- We have developped as well a volunteer program. We could not exist as Fundacion Mona without volunteers, therefore we make sure that they can take away an amazing experience, whether they have worked with us for two days, a month or 10 years! Many of the people who decide to help us because they “ love chimps” end up feeling very engaged and involved in our project and continue to help us on a regular basis. Some of them end up being completely “converted” to the cause! One of our recent volunteers, for example, came across a primate sanctuary in Bolivia while travelling at the age of 32 and after working there for a couple of months decided to go to University, study Animal Behaviour and become a keen conservationist! Sanctuaries have the amazing power of changing the mentality and beliefs of people and making them realize that there is a lot to do in order to improve the world. All of you who have set up sanctuaries and have been working hands on in this field will agree with me that when you have the idea, or I could say the dream, of setting up a sanctuary you start off with millions of ideas wanting to save so many primates in need etc, but that once you have started and you have the chimps in your care you have to be very pragmatic and at least during the first 10-15 years you have to focus your activities, on the intense care that the chimps need and, without forgetting them, you have to set your big dreams aside for a while in order to manage the day-to-day survival of a chimp rehabilitation centre. These primates need all the attention and projects end up going much more slowly than you had previously expected. As a sanctuary leader you have to be tough, dedicated and, more than anything else, patient. We need to keep in mind that sanctuaries are long term projects, a lot of chimps that we rescued will survive us and we need to build a solid, long-term project in o rder to ensure a future for the rescued primates.
- Other roles that we would like to be more involved in but we are limited by time and resources are: Campaigns. We do them against TV adverts in Spain, as these are still very common. Many large, corporate still continue to use chimpanzees for their adverts. We send them letters of protest and we encourage our supporters to do so as well. We are working closely in connection with the authorities that are in charge of illegal pet trade, but the problem is that most of the time even if they find an illegal primate in a private house they have to leave it there, because they do not have a place to house it. They call us for advice but we do not have the space and resources that we would like to have in order to accept all the primates in need in Spain. And I am sure there will be others that can be done, but these ones are the ones we are more involve on.
- Here you can see a photo of schools doing activities at MONA. They prepare enrichment, they learn how to groom, they learn about chimps emotions and so on.
- This are photos of our guided tours. We are not open to public but we do guided visits by previous appointment. We accept only reduce groups of people in order to avoid disturbing the chimps. All our guided visits have the main objective: to make people aware that primates are not domestic animals and therefore make them very bad pets That they are disappearing from the wild . And that each of us can contribute to save them.
- We work on two research lines with several different projects at each one
