PHOTO: Noting indigenous terminology in a Baka camp, during an expedition into the rainforest (Baka Pygmies, Cameroon). SOUNDSCAPE: Baka people identifying a Tricuspix Pangolin and a Long Queue Pangolin (Baka Pygmies of Cameroon) "After months of living with them, the Baka have taught me hundreds of words and I have books full of notes, drawings, charts and diagrams, Not that I understand everything they say to me, or that I no longer use gestures to express myself. In fact, I still stammer through a conversation, drawing objects in the air with my hands, my face muscles stretched into every expression possible..."
