The Wider Image: A dying way of life for Congo's Pygmies
Habimana, 45, poses for a portrait at Kagorwa Pygmy camp, on Idjwi island. Most cannot read or write, and lack the money to send their children to school. "Before, in the forest, we had everything we needed for an easy and happy life: food, shelter, medicine, clothes," said Habimana, a Bambuti woman of 45. "It's in our nature to live like that."
