#WattpadShortys2025 first poetry submission. This prose poem reflects on the precarious existence of the Cape Peninsula baboons, challenging official narratives that reduce them to mere statistics. It highlights the deep connection between the baboons, the land, and local heritage, exposing how bureaucratic "management" masks ongoing population decline and ecological erasure. Through rich imagery and emotional resonance, the poem mourns loss, calls out the dismissal of dedicated conservationists, and confronts human responsibility for environmental degradation. Ultimately, it raises profound questions about memory, truth, and the urgency of bearing witness to protect not only the baboons but the shared natural legacy they represent.
