Baka women, members of the Pygmy people of Central Africa, are actively involved in fishing, one of their main sources of food. They use traditional methods such as twig traps, woven baskets, and temporary dams made of leaves and mud in forest streams. Fishing is done collectively and is often accompanied by singing and laughter, strengthening group cooperation. Furthermore, the women teach girls these techniques from a young age, passing on their knowledge of rivers, seasons, and fish habits. #

The Baka Pygmy dances dedicated to the spirit Jengui are sacred ceremonies that celebrate and honor the protective spirit of the forest, considered a mediator between humans and the spiritual world. Men, covered in leaves and bark, represent Jengui himself, while women and children sing and play drums and clap to invoke his presence. These dances, full of energy and rhythm, reinforce the group's unity and its deep connection with nature and the forest spirits. #fblifestyletyle | Quim Fàbregas

The Baka Pygmy camp is typically located deep in the tropical rainforest of southern Cameroon, Gabon, or the Republic of the Congo. It consists of small family groups living in conical huts called mongulu, built with large leaves and flexible branches.The camps are temporary, as the Baka are traditionally nomadic hunter-gatherers. They are located near water sources and areas with abundant game and wild fruits. Daily life revolves around cooperation, music, and hunting and gathering activities.
