What is the main issue with baboon management in Simonstown according to Engelbrecht?

According to Engelbrecht, the fundamental problem is a lack of effective management by South African authorities regarding baboon safety. Last year, he took legal action against the municipality, national parks agency, and government organizations responsible for nature reserves to force implementation of measures to protect baboons. Critics point out that authorities have been slow to roll out a comprehensive management plan that should include more wardens and rangers to keep baboons away from residential areas. This insufficient oversight has led to increasing conflicts between baboons and residents, highlighting the urgent need for better wildlife management strategies in urban settings.
