Dr David Gaynor, a conservation biologist and primatologist, holds a PhD in baboon foraging ecology and, with Dr Ruth Kansky, authored the first individual-based census and management plan for Cape Peninsula baboons. They developed the first management plan for baboons on the Peninsula, and their two-year trial of monitors on the Slangkop and Da Gama Park troops formed the basis of the monitor programme.
