flag Baboons entering Cape Town neighborhoods prompt conflict over safety, conservation, and relocation efforts.

flag Baboons are increasingly entering Cape Town neighborhoods near Table Mountain, causing property damage and safety concerns as their population grows and habitat shrinks. flag Residents report attacks on pets and home intrusions, while authorities implement a zero-tolerance policy against harming baboons, build exclusion fences, and plan to relocate two habituated troops to a sanctuary. flag Critics oppose relocation, fearing it undermines non-lethal methods and may lead to culling. flag Though recent data shows a decline in suburban incursions, the conflict over balancing human safety, animal welfare, and conservation persists amid ongoing tensions.
