The maps form part of a PhD study conducted by Tali Hoffman under the supervision of Dr Justin O’ Riain, who heads up the unit. The study was funded by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) through its associated trust, the Table Mountain Fund and SANParks. The maps have been accepted by the Strategic Environmental Management branch of the Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning (DEAD&P) in the Western Cape and the City of Cape Town. This means that both of the authorities responsible for land use and development in the Cape Peninsula are now equipped with information about current baboon landscape requirements."
