Pygmy of the Baka ethnic group in the jungle.. by hitting the trunk of some species of trees with a machete they manage to communicate at a great distance: an example is 3 strong blows in a row to warn that the hunter will return to the town with a large prey . 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. Despite being semi-nomadic, the community where the images were taken, made up of 5 families (about 40 people), is settled in the Dja Reserve: commune of Somalomo, Biosphere Reserve since 1982 and World Heritage Site since 1987.
