Senegal

Senegal is located on the Atlantic coast of Western Africa. Terrain is primarily low and rolling, with savannas, forests, and mangroves. In Senegal most of the country is used for human activities, in its majority by rangeland. The rarity of marine fish and mammals is also high. Challenges to biodiversity include deforestation; overgrazing; soil erosion and desertification; droughts and flooding; overfishing; and wildlife poaching.
