Ituri Rainforest is a forest found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, known as the home of the Mbuti pigmies. The Mbuti is a member of one of the hunter-gatherer people living in equatorial rainforests characterised by their short height (below one and a half metres, or 59 inches, on average). Pygmies are found throughout central Africa, with smaller numbers in south-east Asia. They were the subject of a study by Colin Turnbull (The Forest People (1962)).
