Echuya Batwa of Uganda — the indigenous forest-dwelling community of the Echuya Forest Reserve in the Kabale and Kisoro districts whose ancestors inhabited the montane forests of the Albertine Rift for thousands of years before Bantu agricultural expansion and twentieth-century conservation policies displaced them from the woodland world that was simultaneously their home, their pharmacy, their larder, and their sacred landscape, and whose dispossession in the name of gorilla conservation created one of Africa's most poignant human rights dilemmas as the Batwa — who had lived in harmony with the mountain gorillas for millennia — were evicted to become landless squatters on the edges of a forest they can no longer enter while the world celebrates the wildlife their ancestors protected. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that profound and urgent heritage with a QR code linking to the full story.
