Preserving the Fouta Djallon massif, source of the great rivers of West Africa: challenges and proposals for action

Event labeled by the UN, in the framework of the World Water Conference

The objective of this conference is not only to alert on the dangers which weigh today on the massif of Fouta Djallon, source of the great African rivers (Senegal, Niger, Gambia...) but also to propose concrete solutions, around an international program of preservation.
