Short description of the best practice

En 2004, l’Etat sénégalais a entrepris un programme de mise en place de forêts
communautaires.se sont
alors mobilisées pour aménager d’un commun accord avec le service des Eaux et
Forêts une parcelle de 500 ha. Cet espace fut clôturé pour prévenir la divagation du
bétail et cerné d’un pare-feu périmétral de protection contre les feux bien que leur
occurrence soit en baisse depuis quelques années.|
