Plans to euthanise Martello, the dominant male of the Seaforth baboon troop, have been cancelled following concerns from conservationists.
The decision comes after the release of the Final Baboon Action Management Plan, which sets guidelines for population control and sanctuary relocation in the Cape Peninsula.
Martello is known for his protective and caregiving behaviour toward juveniles, including rescuing injured troop members.
Authorities confirmed that euthanasia is not being considered, allowing him to remain with his troop as management continues.

The French pianist behind the viral Paris "Bohemian Rhapsody" flash mob is taking his performances to a new level. Julien Cohen has launched a major new project featuring 100 classical musicians performing five songs in central Paris.
The first release, a Christmas video, forms part of this larger production and has already attracted millions of views since being published on Monday.
It follows the success of the original flash mob that reached around 600 million views online.
The project involved extensive planning, multiple performances and dozens of camera operators to capture the crowd’s reaction. Cohen aims to keep creating ambitious, high-quality events that bring music and joy to public spaces.
