Future of the Environment

Baboons are one of the most resilient species at risk from climate change

A male baboon (Papio Hamadryas) is seen at the Safari Zoo in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv, Israel, September 9, 2015. For the first time at the zoo, a four-year and seven-month-old light-coloured fur baboon gave birth to a female offspring and this has led zookeepers to believe that the very rare light-coloured fur gene is likely to be passed on in their baboon troop, a press release said on Wednesday.
