Hunting in rainforest requires the Bakas Pygmies skills for tracking. Hunter-gatherers from the outset, the forest holds no secret for them.
Everything is stealthy, within a so thick biotope that sometimes animals are to be heard but not seen. This is the major difference between rainforest and savannah.
Our hunting methodology consists in browsing the dirt roads opened by forestry companies and maintained by us.
We spot animal footprints, evaluate them and follow them when deemed appropriate.
