As of the latest estimates, there are approximately 1,000 to 2,000 Walia ibex left in the wild. This species, native to the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia, faces threats from habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their population and habitat. However, their status remains vulnerable, highlighting the need for continued protection.

The Gelada Baboon and the Walia Ibex coexist in the Ethiopian highlands, where their habitats overlap. While Gelada Baboons primarily feed on grass and roots and are social animals that live in large groups, Walia Ibexes are herbivorous and graze on various vegetation, including shrubs. Their interaction is generally non-aggressive, but they may compete for resources like food in shared areas. Overall, their relationship exemplifies the dynamics of species living in close proximity within a shared ecosystem.
