Baka women are highly organized within their natural environment. In the Central African rainforest, they play a vital role in community life: they gather fruits, roots, and honey, prepare food, care for children, and pass on knowledge of medicinal plants. Furthermore, their cooperation is key to daily and spiritual activities, maintaining the balance between the community and nature. #inspirationofafrica | Quim Fàbregas
