Pygmy childs of the Baka ethnic group, they are almost addicted to fire. Always surrounded and the closer, the better. Generally they do not let them go out and they have them both outside their huts and inside them. Small indigenous communities that cling to their past and continue to live in the equatorial forest of southeastern Cameroon (they are also found in the Congo, Central African Republic and Gabon). Most of their subsistence lies in hunting, fishing and gathering.
