Butera District, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda 2014. Portrait of Emmanuel Sayinzoga, 7 years old, in his bedroom. Between 2006 and 2010, the ancient region of lakes and forest where the Batwa used to live, was converted into an attraction site for tourism due to the presence of gorillas. Batwa land was officially confiscated. Unable to return to their lands, they now live in extremely poor conditions.
