Pygmies still hunt and gather in the rainforests of the DR Congo – a traditional way of life that survived the brutality of the colonial era. https://bbc.in/2ExvxFi | BBC News

The houses of the Baka pygmies, who live in the forests of Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon, are simple, temporary structures perfectly adapted to the jungle environment. Women are usually responsible for building them. They nail thin branches together in a circle, forming a dome- or beehive-shaped frame, which they then cover with overlapping broad leaves to protect from water and sun. They are small, just enough for a family, and are mainly used for sleeping and sheltering from the rain. #inspiratio
