Pygmy tribes

Pygmy tribes are various ethnic groups primarily found in Central Africa, known for their short stature and distinct cultures. They traditionally live in forested areas, relying on hunting, gathering, and sometimes agriculture for sustenance. Their societies are often characterized by strong communal ties and deep knowledge of their environment. Pygmies face challenges such as deforestation, displacement, and discrimination, which threaten their way of life. Despite these challenges, they maintain rich cultural traditions, including music, dance, and storytelling, which are integral to their identity and heritage.
