  • The non-profit association \"Monkey Sanctuary\" is an organization, active at the national level, dedicated to the protection of wild animals, born or not in captivity, with a particular focus on monkeys. <\/span>In this context, the association can provide assistance to any other wild animal, born or not in captivity, which is in pain or in danger of death.<\/li>\n
  • The \"Monkey Sanctuary\" is an association dedicated to helping animals in need, taking care of injured, abandoned and orphaned animals, and releasing those who have regained their health in their natural habitat when possible.<\/li>\n
  • To do this, the association organizes and manages a refuge for immediate assistance to monkeys and other wild animals, as well as a protected area (reserves) for their reintegration into a natural environment when possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

    • Through educational actions, the association raises community awareness of the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystems, and promotes actions to fight against climate change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

      • The main objective of the refuge is to take care of animals in distress or suffering and to reintroduce them into their natural environment or into a protected area\/reserve, when possible. For some of the animals welcomed at the shelter, reintroduction is not possible and these animals find a permanent home, cared for by a team of employees and volunteers.<\/li>\n
      • The refuge and the protected areas managed by the association are also centers for research and scientific studies, which can attract scientists from all over the world to study the unique animals and ecosystems of Cape Verde.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

              Mainly national bodies and international bodies and organizations such as WWF, IPBES, IPCC, United Nations, IUCN, etc.), and in particular the Convention on Biological Diversity of 1992. Signed by 168 heads of government at the Rio Summit in 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity is dedicated to promoting sustainable development and represents a major step forward in the conservation of biological diversity. The vision of the new framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (post 2020) is \"a world of life in harmony with nature\" with the objective in particular of substantially increasing the number of protected areas in the world. <\/span>
