🚨 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬 – 𝐀 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 🚨Baboons are iconic, intelligent, and essential to our ecosystems, yet they continue to face persecution and mistreatment in Cape Town and across South Africa. 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐲 (𝐁𝐖𝐂), alongside 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬, is standing strong in the fight to protect these magnificent animals and demand accountability from those in power. 🐾Our court case on 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟒𝐭𝐡 aims to hold the 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 and other authorities accountable for their failure to implement humane solutions that have been identified and agreed upon for over 24 years. Solutions that could prevent human-baboon conflict and allow baboons to thrive in their natural habitats—free from danger and harm.As Jenni Trethowan (Baboon Matters) and Ryno Engelbrecht (individual applicant), explain in our latest video, the authorities' last-minute crisis management is simply not enough. While promises of baboon rangers and strategic plans have been made, meaningful action is still lacking. In the meantime, our baboons remain vulnerable, and the community is left feeling frustrated. 💔 𝗕𝗪𝗖 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗶 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗵𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 stated: "𝗔𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆 (𝗕𝗪𝗖), 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗥𝘆𝗻𝗼 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗵𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗼 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀.

𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, yet that’s the reality we may face if urgent steps aren’t taken.

Tag 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 and 𝐁𝐖𝐂 to spread awareness.- Demand the authorities act NOW by enforcing 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧-𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐬, 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠, and 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬 to protect both the baboons and our communities.🛑 Since 2009, over R160 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 of public funds have been allocated to the 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦. It’s time for these funds to be used responsibly, ensuring that effective solutions are implemented for the benefit of all.This is a case for everyone—whether you're an animal lover or someone simply frustrated with the lack of action, this case represents a chance for us all to find common ground and protect these iconic animals.Ryno and Jenni extend their heartfelt thanks to all the applicants, including Jo Bosman and Baboons Of The South's Lorraine Svoronos Holloway for their dedicated support and tireless effort with the application. The combined efforts are critical in fighting for the protection and well-being of our baboons.✊ Let’s stand together and demand better solutions for our baboons and our future.

He highlighted that the participation of children from Hanover Park was crucial, teaching them to stand up peacefully for what they believe in. "It’s crucial for communities to unite and advocate for vital causes in a non-violent manner," Chad remarked to the Peoples Post.
