TL;DR: It is argued that fragmentation of the existing Pygmy populations, alongside pressure from extractive industries and sometimes conflict with conservation areas, endanger their future and there is an urgent need to inform policies that can mitigate against future external threats to these indigenous peoples’ culture and lifestyles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Foraging Expeditions (Molongo) among the Baka Hunter-Gatherers in the Northwestern Congo Basin, with Special Reference to the "Wild Yam Question"
TL;DR: The authors examined the viability of pure foraging in tropical rainforests, based on data from participant observation of a long-term foraging expedition among the Baka in the northwestern Congo Basin.
The sustainability of duiker (cephalophus spp.) hunting for the baka hunter-gatherers in southeastern cameroon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the situation of duikers (Cephalophus spp.) in the area close to roads and propose a solution to control the hunting pressure.

Journal ArticleDOI
Dense Wild Yam Patches Established by Hunter-Gatherer Camps: Beyond the Wild Yam Question, Toward the Historical Ecology of Rainforests
TL;DR: The issue of whether exploitation of wild yams, including searching for them, digging them up, transporting them to the camp, and cooking and consuming them, could have been practiced in everyday life remains inconclusive.
