Tens Of Thousands Call The Forest Home

Altogether, about 30,000 to 40,000 Mbuti people still live in the Congo. That might not sound like much compared to a modern city, but in the rainforest, it’s a thriving community.

Three Unique Subgroups

The Mbuti are made up of three smaller subgroups, the Sua, Efé, and Asua. The languages between the subgroups are different, but they all align on their culture and worship of the forest.
