Astou – A young Senegalese conservationist and bird enthusiast

Astou is a young passionate conservationist from Senegal. Every year millions of water birds migrate from Europe to winter in the wetlands of the Senegal Delta. Astou actively contributed to the annual International Waterbird Census in the Djoudj National Park. She encourages other young African women to discover the beauty and importance of nature. The RESSOURCE Project is supporting Astou’s work. The project aims to promote wetland conservation, water bird monitoring, sustainable-levels of hunting and effective conservation policies in the Sahel.
