On my recent trip to Africa, I got to spend 24 hours living with the pygmy tribe in the middle of the rainforest in the Central African Republic. I had permission from the chief to visit, and it was a wonderful and eye-opening experience! If you find this story interesting, please share it with your friends!

Pygmies still hunt and gather in the rainforests of the DR Congo – a traditional way of life that survived the brutality of the colonial era. https://bbc.in/2ExvxFi | BBC News

Found in the tall grasslands of the southern Himalayan foothills, the smallest pig in the world is also the rarest. Loss and degradation of the pygmy hog's habitat threaten to wipe out the species, but successful reintroductions offer some hope for the future. We are proud to be a part of the Pygmy Hog Conservation Programme to try and save this Critically Endangered species from extinction. | Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
