Nyabihu District, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda 2014. Zanika Iradukunda 20 years old, with her newborn daughter, Manirumva, 1 month. Between 2006 and 2010 the ancient region of lakes and forests where the Batwa used to live has been converted into tourism attraction sites because of the presence of gorillas. Batwa land has been confiscated and they now live in extremely poor conditions, usually surviving by harvesting the land of others or crafting small ceramic objects for the tourism industry.
