A map of the study region was divided into 150 m2 grid cells (n = 200). We then defined the habitat type of the cell, estimated the risk of deterrence by baboon rangers and food rewards for each cell. The risk of baboons being deterred by ‘rangers’ range from likely deterrence (red, score 22) to passive monitoring (green, score 0). The energy available from potential food items is presented as the mean kcal/bite ranging from 0, to 22.6. Cells were categorised as one of five broad habitat categories according to their dominant features (fynbos, trees, meadows, vineyards and urban areas) based on researcher knowledge of the site and images from Google Earth (accessed 06/06/2014).
