  A moment of cultural and social interaction with the Batwa people

  The Pygmy- Batwa people are a traditionally hunter -gatherer group who lived within the forests and survived on small mammals and plants. After plans to conserve and gazette National Parks in the early 1990’s, the Batwa were forced to leave the forest and were no longer able to enter the park to gather food. Given their traditional way of life and their dependency on the forest for food, this resulted in various socio-economic problems and the Batwa communities remain largely marginalized and are one of the poorest communities in Uganda.
