Population Size, Structure and Activity Pattern of Gelada Baboon (Theropithecus gelada) at Simien Mountains National Park, Simiengondar Zone, Ethiopia

A study on the gelada baboon (Theropithecus gelada) in Simien Mountains National Park, Ethiopia, reveals critical insights into its population size, structure, and activity patterns. The research highlights that gelada baboons exhibit unique social structures and activity rhythms adapted to their high-altitude habitat, with significant variations observed across different troop compositions. Using a combination of direct observations and demographic data analysis, the study provides valuable baseline information for conservation efforts in this UNESCO World Heritage Site. These findings are crucial for understanding the ecological dynamics of gelada baboons, which are endemic to the Ethiopian Highlands.
