Bye bye Bayaka

Blog: Timothy Allen on BBC Earth - 14 May 2009

Central African Republic

Loving the smoke

But soft! What light through yonder jungle breaks?

It’s the end of our time with the Bayaka and tomorrow we’ll be heading off to Cameroon and then home sweet home to the UK, but before I go I thought I’d leave you with one more picture from our Bayaka jungle home.  That’s Mongonjay with his wife and child standing outside their hut, safe and sound after our honey gathering adventure.

The next destination on our journey will be Brazil where we’ll be meeting some local fisherman who have an amazing way of landing their prey.  Also, I am pleased to announce that we have a new photographer on board our team.  Abbie Trayler-Smith will be spending the next 4 weeks in the deserts of Mali covering two fantastic stories for Human Planet and she’ll be posting her own blog entries here so look out for those in the not too distant future.

Até encontrar novamente no Brasil!
