Being forest dwellers, the Ba-Benjelle pygmies know the forest, its plants and animals intimately.  They live by hunting animals such as pigs, antelopes and monkeys, as well, as fishing and gathering yams, berries and other edible plants.  They see the forest as a generous god who provides for all their needs.

There complex pattern of nomadic life, established over thousands of years, is threatened more than ever by outside influences like politics and commerce, and those who remain live increasingly sedentary lives.*
