 Every troop has at least 2 large water dams which need cleaning and refilling daily. |  We try to ensure all the enclosures have lots of platforms, climbing structures and swings to keep our baboons agile and lives enriched, |
|---|---|
 We need to purchase 2 truck loads of fresh food, several bales of hay and 2 50 kg bags of dry food every day to keep our baboons healthy. |  Baboon orphans are bonded to an adult female and integrated into her troop which are being rehabilitated for release. |
 All our baboons are vaccinated against tetanus which needs 3 x injections once a month for 3 months and then a booster 1 year later. |  Daily cleaning needs lots of water, cleaning tools like scrub brushes and brooms which need replacing regularly and fresh hay. |
 Every day every baboon is checked and their physical condition and demeanour noted along with any injuries / oestrus swellings or anything else interesting. The enclosures are checked for security along with making sure they have clean water and were given enough food by the care-givers. Always good to have quality control. |  We need to purchase 2 truck loads of fresh food, several bales of hay and 2 50 kg bags of dry food every day to keep our baboons healthy. |
 All the animals are on a de-worming schedule which is costly and time-consuming. Additionally all our females are on contraceptive implants which are expensive too! Injuries and illness happen too.... all in a days work. |  To support our local communities and have a secure and steady team we employ 13-14 local staff which care for the baboons daily; feeding, cleaning, giving water. |

 We have been over-hauling all the enclosures with the help of our main builder Isaac; which has been a huge financial undertaking, but we also need to fund regular maintenance; replacing old wire, beams, fixing areas etc. |  With so many animals at the centre we need to clean the enclosures regularly which means we need to buy lots of bales of hay for substrate, bedding and enrichment. |
