MONA is a Rescue and Rehabilitation center near Girona surrounded by nature that serves as a home for rescued primates and as a place to develop educational and training activities. Caring for and understanding leads us to understand and respect wild animals in general. These primates have been circus performers, television performers, advertising models, or even pets. An invisible mistreatment in our society. . MONA offers them a new life option, they will live in facilities adapted to their needs, forming social groups and recovering as much as possible from their physical, psychological and emotional consequences. Their stories will serve to explain how they really are and emphasize the indiscriminate treatment of human towards the planet.
