Wetlands and waterbirds conservation in Senegal

Every year, millions of water birds migrate from Europe to Africa to winter in the Sahelian wetlands. These wetlands, which are essential for local community livelihoods and water birds, are now under threat. How can we ensure a brighter future for people and water birds? The RESSOURCE Project has been established to support communities in conserving wetlands and water birds in five countries. The project aims to promote water bird 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.
