Description
Half of all proceeds from any baboon print or cards (excluding the price of framing and matting) will go to an animal rescue facility which takes in orphaned and injured primates.
Most of the photos I�ve taken of baboons have been on my house, or near my house. I love them, and feel privileged to be able to watch them and experience nature so close. Unfortunately, not everyone feels that way, and baboons in this area are sometimes seen as pests. They have rocks and fire-crackers thrown at them, are poisoned, shot at with sling-shots, paint guns and real guns. I have witnessed all of these horrible acts, and am mortified at a person who is able to injure and even kill a beautiful animal like this.
There are lots of us who protect the baboons the best we can, but yet�we can�t stop everyone. Thank goodness for places like The Darwin Primate Group, who take in injured and orphaned baboons and vervet monkeys.
