Cape Peninsula Baboon Strategic Management Plan 2023/24 to 2033/34

The Chacma baboon (Papio ursinus ursinus) is indigenous to and plays an important ecological role on the Cape Peninsula. Baboons prefer to use low-lying land for foraging; and prefer high-lying areas such as caves, cliffs and tall trees in which to roost. However, on the Cape Peninsula, a substantial portion of all available low lying land has been transformed into residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural landscapes. This has resulted in human-baboon conflict.
