    作品简介：巴卡以及当地锐减的森林 The Baka and their Shrinking Forest

    刚果共和国土著居民巴卡族，是当地15个少数民族之一， 现在正面临两大威胁。他们曾在非洲中部的森林以狩猎和采集为生，由于商业伐木，传统栖息地被破坏；离开森林就意味着居无定所，贫困潦倒。
The Republic of Congo’s indigenous people, the country’s first inhabitants, are under threat. The Baka, one of 15 ethnic groups, who traditionally have lived as hunters and gathers in the forest of central Africa, confront two grave dangers. Their traditional habitat is under threat from commercial logging and when they do leave the forest, they are often left landless, impoverished and exploited.
