The Congo Basin rainforest is the second largest in the world, and highly threatened by commercial exploitation by loggers, miners and agro-industrial interests. Over the past fifty years, millions of hectares have become protected through the establishment of parks and reserves. Almost all Congo Basin forests also overlap the traditional territories of extremely poor and politically disenfranchised local communities, especially hunter-gatherer 'Pygmy' communities who rely upon forests for their livelihoods. Traditional conservation methods targeting these biodiverse areas - where indigenous peoples typically live - are based upon the concept of 'fortress conservation', involving armed forest patrols charged with keeping the forests clear of people. In this film indigenous forest communities from Cameroon discuss the impact of this approach on their human rights, land tenure and culture.—Anonymous
