The cholesterol level of garbage-eating baboons is dangerously higher than that of baboons that do not eat garbage.
The population of hyenas that live near unregulated garbage landfills north of the reserve has doubled in the last two years.
The rate of birth defects for the baboon population on the reserve has doubled since the first landfills were opened.
