There, I am continuing research on the Baka peoples¡Ç foraging activities; their life once they settle; and their social relations, mainly from an ecological anthropological point of view. Currently, for my individual research, I am also studying the relationship with wild animals such as African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) from an ethnic zoological perspective.
