The Batwa Pygmies

The Batwa pygmies are former inhabitants of the Ituri forest who lived a hunter gatherer life in harmony with the gorillas in the forest. Because of conservation purposes and need to boost Congo gorilla trekking tours the Batwa were forced to live in the foothills of the mountains. The Batwa pygmies are known to be in the foothills of Bwindi impenetrable national park and Mgahinga gorilla national park in Uganda.
