The Saloum Delta is a remarkable example of the delicate balance between rich biodiversity and sustainable human development. Located in central-west Senegal, this biosphere reserve spans over 180,000 hectares of diverse habitats—including savannahs, mangroves, sandy islets, lagoons, and shorelines. Dominated by mangrove species like Rhizophora and Avicennia, the reserve supports a wide range of wildlife and plant life, from halophile species to important waterbird breeding colonies. Situated about 150 km southeast of Dakar, the Saloum Delta is a vital site for conservation and showcases the unique harmony between nature and culture in the region.
