Baboons have revealed their hand, and that’s why a sanctuary is the best option

Authorities in the Western Cape are addressing an ongoing urban baboon problem that has accumulated costs in the tens of millions of rands. A researcher studying the issue has concluded that current strategies are insufficient.

To resolve the conflict and ensure the welfare of the primates, the researcher proposes the establishment of a secure sanctuary. This proposed facility is presented as the only viable solution to manage the baboons and mitigate the high financial and logistical costs associated with the regional crisis.
