Wildlife authorities on South Africa's Cape Peninsula have confirmed they will trap two troops of chacma baboons that live beside Simon's Town and move them permanently into a fenced enclosure, ending their life in the wild. According to reporting by Mongabay, the Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Joint Task Team, made up of the City of Cape Town, South African National Parks (SANParks) and CapeNature, has decided to capture the Waterfall troop and the smaller Seaforth troop and remove them from the landscape.
