Koular Bolon estuary in the commune of Keur Saloum in Senegal, West Africa 2004
Detailed Description
Koular Bolon estuary in the commune of Keur Saloum in Senegal. Since the 2000s, large-scale reforestation campaigns have been initiated and operated by non-governmental organizations operating in Senegal (e.g., IUCN, Oceanium). Results have been spectacular: between 2006 and 2013, 140 sq km of mangrove forests were replanted, mostly in Casamance, but also along Senegal’s Saloum Region (Cormier-Salem and Panfili, 2016).
