Preserving wetlands with white water lilies

Experimental cultivation of water lily in the Senegal River delta is one of the RESSOURCE Project flagship initiatives. This engaging nature-friendly activity benefits and involves the local communities, such as rice-farmers, cooperatives of women and restaurant owners. Water lily production can help the local economy as well as wetlands and waterbirds conservation. The RESSOURCE project aims to promote waterbird monitoring, sustainable-levels of hunting and effective conservation policies in the Sahel. It is co-funded by the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the European Union through the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme.
