Organization of the Day:The Mexican Rehabilitation Centre for Primates (CMRP)

The Mexican Rehabilitation Centre for Primates (CMRP) emerges after the actual troubled situation of endemic endangered primates in Mexico (Alouatta pigra , Alouatta palliata, Ateles geoffroyi).The CMRP was founded in 2007 to promote, share important data and support conservation and rehabilitation of exotic primates in the zone, creating research programs and scientific education.

The CMRP is a non-profit Organization that receives and takes care of illegally trade primates, with the main idea of reintroducing them back to their natural habitat whenever is possible. They also keep the animals in suitable conditions when reintroducing is not possible. They also perform scientific investigation of the environment suitable for the monkeys and promote education. The Organization wants to be a reference to the Mexican society about the need to take care and protect the species and give back a honourable life to the monkeys that were sold in the illegal market.
