Uganda - Batwa Tribe - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

Flora shelters in one of the traditional dwellings of the Mukuno village, natural hollows occur under tree roots where they sleep. Flora is one of the elders of the traditional Batwa pygmies from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. They were indigenous forest nomads before they were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it was made a World Heritage site to protect the mountain gorillas. The Batwa Development Program now supports them.
