Boost Community Tourism to Protect Batwa Heritage
The Batwa people ofUganda, who have coexisted with mountain gorillas for generations, are currently facing significant challenges for their survival. Historically, they were hunter-gatherers; however, in 1991, they were forcibly evicted from their ancestral land to create national parks. Therefore, charities are advocating for community-based tourism initiatives to ensure that the Batwa can benefit from the influx of tourists visiting to track gorillas.
