Uganda - Batwa Tribe - Bwindi Impenetrable Forest

James, one of the elders of the traditional Batwa pygmies from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda talks through local species of plant and their uses. 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.
