Amongst the troops in my area, where male baboons are targeted by
humans, there appears to be a severe skew in the adult male/female ratio, a factor responsible for a negative ripple effect throughout all baboon society here as well as their relationship to their human neighbours.
The war between humans and baboons began when the Dutch arrived on the Cape Peninsula in 1652. Prior to this, the indigenous Khoisan people existed peacefully with their wild neighbours. They understood baboon language, learnt about medicinal plants from them and never killed them for food. In order to halt the destruction of our primate populations here, we need to revert back to harmonious co-existence with wildlife. Having lived in three different homes that were raided by baboons, I’ve come to understand that co-existence is possible, that tolerance and understanding is integral to constructive change. And the view that we are blessed to still live alongside our wild neighbours is important to understanding our human relationship to the rest of Nature from which we are separated.
