THE VANISHING BAYAKA

​All people can make a unique and positive contribution to the larger society because of, rather than spite of, their differences.

The main threat facing the Bayaka people is racism. Even though they were living in the forests long before anyone else, the Bangu people who share the forests, see the Bayaka as less than human.

​Governments have chosen to profit from the forests. Big companies buy the land and the Bayaka get thrown out. Bayaka tribes are being illegally evicted from their homes by heavily armed fighters.

​There must be a better way to save the Bayaka and keep the species of animals in the forests.
