Deep in the cool shade of the Ituri forest, central Africa, dwell the huntergatherers we call Pygmy, but for whom the Bantu term is Ba Mbuti. While racially, culturally and geographically distant from the Yanomami of Brazil or the Penan of Sarawak, these 'little' people share in common with tropical forest dwellers around the globe a love and respect for their sylvan world which, it can only be hoped, does something to counter, in terms of global'Gaian' energy, the destruction of the great rain forests by us 'big' people.
