  • Chimpanzees ( Pan Troglodytes Verus ) and Ful Ɓe Pastoralists
    Predicting conflict over scarce resources: Chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes verus ) and Ful ɓe pastoralists by Brooke E. Massa Dr. Jennifer Swenson, Advisor May 2011 Masters project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Environmental Management degree in the Nicholas School of the Environment of Duke University 2011 MP Advisor's signature Cover photo: A pruned Khaya senegalensis tree stands, surrounded by its cut branches. Also known as African mahogany , the tree is prized not only for the fodder it provides, but also as a strong wood, often used to craft farming tools. Khaya senegalensis is considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN and is protected by several West African governments. 2 Abstract The western chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus ) is considered the most endangered subspecies of chimpanzee. The populations living at the furthest extent of its range, in southern Senegal – a country situated directly south of the Sahara Desert - are considered to be nearly extinct. These ‘savanna chimpanzees’ have adapted to living in an arid environment and are now facing more threats to their survival as climate change and deforestation have forced nomadic pastoralists further into their habitat in search of fodder and water. Combining field-collected data on both chimpanzee and pastoralist habitat use with GIS and remote sensing data, I spatially predicted areas of potential habitat conflict among chimpanzees and pastoralists. Using species distribution modeling, I found that large swaths of forested habitat in Bandafassi are predicted to be used by nomadic pastoralists. Their presence is expected in 86 percent of the land which is predicted to be used by chimpanzees.

  • Labeling Study Report Senegal Key Messages
    ASSESSMENT AND RESEARCH IN CHILD FEEDING (ARCH): LABELING STUDY REPORT SENEGAL Report on commercially produced complementary foods and selected commercially produced foods not specifically marketed for but commonly consumed by infants and young children KEY MESSAGES 1. Nutrition is central to strengthening the health and development of individuals and nations. The 1,000 days of a mother’s pregnancy until her child’s 2nd birthday is a particularly critical window of opportunity during which the right nutrition gives children a healthy start at life. • The Government of Senegal joined the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement in 2011, committing to invest in policies and programs to improve nutrition. • In Senegal 27% of children under-five years of age are stunted, never reaching their full cognitive or physical development. 2. Optimal feeding leads to children reaching their full potential. Exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life, with continued breastfeeding until 2 years of age or beyond, together with the addition of safe, appropriate complementary foods from 6 months provides the best nutrition for a young child. To protect these optimal feeding practices, the marketing practices of all products aimed at infants and young children, not only breast-milk substitutes, are under the spotlight. • In Senegal, early initiation of breastfeeding is 23%, exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months 39% and continued breastfeeding at the age of two years 51%. • In Senegal complementary feeding is initiated between 6-8 months for 61% of infants. 3. Evidence must guide policy development. Recognizing that commercially produced complementary foods are often a part of a child’s diet, Helen Keller International’s Assessment and Research on Child Feeding (ARCH) Project is gathering data on the promotion of foods consumed by infants and young children in Senegal, Cambodia, Nepal and Tanzania.

    United Nations A/HRC/WG.6/31/SEN/1 General Assembly Distr.: General 31 August 2018 English Original: French Human Rights Council Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review Thirty-first session 5–16 November 2018 National report submitted in accordance with paragraph 5 of the annex to Human Rights Council resolution 16/21* Senegal I. Introduction and methodology for preparation of the report 1. This report is submitted in follow-up to the presentation of the second report of Senegal to the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review at its seventeenth session in 2013. It reflects the efforts to implement the recommendations that Senegal had accepted. 2. With technical and financial support from the Regional Office for West Africa of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, based in Dakar, the Ministry of Justice, through the National Advisory Council on Human Rights, led the process of preparing the report. The National Advisory Council on Human Rights is a standing government body, made up of representatives of all ministerial departments, of a large number of the most representative civil society organizations, and also of the national human rights institution — the Senegalese Human Rights Committee — and of Parliament. 3. A national action plan for the period 2016–2018 was drafted by a technical committee composed of focal points from key ministries, appointed by the National Advisory Council on Human Rights. The draft report was drawn up on the basis of the information that had been gathered and was then considered at a dissemination and validation workshop with the participation of national institutions and civil society.
