James, one of the elders of the traditional Batwa pygmies from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. James climbs a tree to collect honey. They were indigenous forest nomads before they were evicted from the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest when it was made a World Heritage site to protect the mountain gorillas. The Batwa Development Program now supports them.
