Baboons burnt in Kleinmond fire slowly being rescued

On Friday, a female juvenile baboon was caught, the first of at least nine identified as being in dire need of veterinary care.

A fire that broke out in Kleinmond in the Western Cape earlier this month has had a significant impact on wildlife in the Overberg region.

Rescue efforts from Cape Nature, the Cape of Good Hope SPCA (COGH SPCA) and Baboon Matters to save as many baboons in the area as possible are continuing, with some primates finally being darted and treated for extensive burns. More here.
