Reserve De Bandia, La Petite Cote, Senega
The Bandia Reserve is a small nature reserve in Senegal , located 65 km from Dakar on the road to Mbour , near the village of Bandia .
The history of the Bandia Reserve began in 1981 with the establishment of the PARFOB (autonomous project for the reforestation of the Bandia forest), funded by USAID with initially a Senegalese-American co-direction. For the Senegalese side, it is Feu Boubacar SIDIBE, Senior Officer, Senior Inspector of Waters, Forests and Hunting and David GUIBSON for the American part. After three years, the American side withdrew and the project was completed in 1986 by Mr. SIDIBE.
it is on the achievements of this project that the reserve of Bandia was created.
