Red list status : Low Concern

The Hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas), has an estimated population of 20,000 to 25,000 individuals in the wild. They are primarily found in regions of northeastern Africa, including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, and parts of the Arabian Peninsula, such as Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Their populations in the wild are considered relatively stable, but they do face threats such as habitat loss and hunting.

In zoos, the Hamadryas baboon is a common species due to its adaptability and social structure. There are several hundred Hamadryas baboons in captivity around the world, spread across many zoos and wildlife parks. Exact numbers are not always available, as populations in captivity are managed differently by each facility, but they are part of various breeding programs to maintain genetic diversity.

Zoos often keep Hamadryas baboons in large, socially structured groups, which mimic their natural family dynamics and hierarchical social systems. These animals are popular in zoos due to their complex behaviors and strong social interactions.
