RAINFOREST AND AFRICAN PYGMIESPhoto gallery with quotes from the book "The Forest Has You" and soundscapesPHOTO: Sunset in the rainforest, near a Baka camp (Cameroon). SOUNDSCAPE: rainforest insect calls and Southern Tree Hyrax (Dendrohyrax arboreus) vocalizations "We walk on for hours, until the sun falls into a net of lianas and the forest carries it away. As old Folì once told us. The forest puts the sun to sleep beyond the hills. He wraps it up in ngongó leaves to keep it from the cold. And he puts it to sleep by singing a long polyphonic song..."
