The Baboon Matters Trust
IT 3813/2007

The Baboon Matters Trust comprises a handful of dedicated volunteers who are at the forefront of baboon conservation in South Africa.  The goals of the trust include raising awareness for the plight of baboons as well as education and training so that sustainable solutions can be found for areas of conflict between man and baboon. 

On a practical level the trust makes provision for the rescue and care of injured or sick baboons, and aims to support rehabilitation centres that focus their attention on baboons.

An area that requires huge, on-going effort is that of advocacy – ensuring that the ethical and intrinsic rights of baboons are not overlooked in the face of increasing urbanisation and development.

From all the anecdotal evidence coming to Baboon Matters it is clear that baboons over southern Africa face a bleak future and we appeal to those of you who have been moved by “Beast or Blessing” to send your contribution to the Baboon Matters Trust so that we can not only continue our important work – but develop our range of operations to ensure the conservation and management of baboons for generations to come.
