Cape Town’s CT2 baboon troop lives between the forest and nearby suburbs, searching for food while avoiding dangers like paintball markers used to scare them away. As the city grows, these clever baboons face tough choices: stay safe in the forest or risk the suburbs’ tempting but risky meals. Volunteers work gently to guide the troop away from trouble, showing that kindness can help humans and baboons share space. Still, the fight continues as people worry about their homes and the baboons’ survival hangs in the balance.
