Human Wildlife Solutions (HWS), which manages the Baboon Programme in towns in the Overstrand, would like to request all residents who own trees that bear fruit in neighbourhoods that are affected by baboon raids, to remove the fruit from their trees daily before it ripens.
During the past three weeks there has been a marked increase in incidents of single and small
groups of baboons running past the baboon rangers to town to feed on figs in particular. Vegetable gardens are also very attractive to baboons and it is advisable to cover vegetable gardens.
