The Baka Pygmies of Cameroon are one of the oldest forest folks; they have been banned from hunting and are doomed to disappear in the more or less long term... Like in the other countries of the Congo Basin forests have become markets – they are way too profitable to be left to minorities.

Exploited by logging companies, they also have become a match field for NGOs like WWF – who would rather defend the big cats than the indigenous people. The WWF has thus contributed to the creation of armed eco-rangers who have been accused of committing abuses by the Pygmies.
