To verify conventional elephant hunting by hunter-gatherers in African rainforest and their socio-cultural activity as a background, we designed observational surveys and interviewed to the Baka people in eastern Cameroon.According to this study, it shows the current situation of intergenerational transmission of indigenous knowledge and skill of elephant hunting. Elephant hunting was customarily practiced by the “tuma”, hunting specialists of the Baka, but has now become difficult as the external pressure against hunting has increased for the conservation of wild animals.
