early warning system.
Conservation status.
The olive baboon is listed as least concern by the IUCN because "this species is very widespread and abundant and although persecuted as a crop raider there are no major threats believed to be resulting in a range-wide population decline". Despite persecution, the baboon is still widespread and numerous. Competition and disease have possibly led to fewer baboons in closed forests. It has been actively persecuted as a pest.
