Description

Cape Peninsula baboons are integral to our natural ecosystem, but their survival is under constant threat from habitat destruction, mismanagement, and human-wildlife conflict. The Protect Cape Peninsula Baboons campaign is dedicated to ensuring these intelligent, sentient beings live free from harm while promoting ethical and sustainable management practices.

The Problem

  • Rapid urban expansion is encroaching on baboon habitats, forcing them into dangerous interactions with humans.
  • Many baboons face inhumane treatment, including lethal measures, due to poor management strategies.
  • Monitoring teams lack adequate funding, leaving baboons vulnerable to threats.

Our Vision

A Cape Peninsula where baboons thrive in their natural environment, coexisting harmoniously with humans. Through education, advocacy, and direct action, we aim to protect these iconic creatures and their habitats.

What We’re Doing

  • Campaigning for full funding of baboon monitoring teams to ensure safety and ethical management.
  • Educating communities about humane solutions to human-baboon conflicts.
  • Advocating for policy changes that prioritise habitat conservation and compassionate wildlife management.
