On my recent trip to Africa, I got to spend 24 hours living with the pygmy tribe in the middle of the rainforest in the Central African Republic. I had permission from the chief to visit, and it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience! If you find this story interesting, please share it with your friends!

The villages of pygmies—like the Baka of Central Africa—consist of small houses made from materials found in the rainforest. Their typical dwellings are semicircular huts constructed from flexible branches covered with large leaves and bark. These lightweight structures are quick to assemble and disassemble, ideal for their nomadic lifestyle and their close connection to the forest. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas

The daily life of the Baka pygmies is deeply intertwined with the forest.Families gather fruits, honey, and roots, and the men hunt small animals with bows and traps.The women prepare food, care for the children, and craft traditional tools. The community organizes itself collectively, sharing resources and knowledge, while maintaining rituals and songs that strengthen cohesion and respect for the nature that sustains them. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas
