We received excellent welcome and hospitality from our hosts at GSTA and Solimar International. Your forethought and attention was continually evident before our arrival and during our time in- country. We extend special thanks to Barri Diakite and Shawndra Herry for their pre-work in setting up the village meetings and personal care for our comfort and well-being. Thanks is also extended to them for the opportunities they scheduled to add insight into Malian life and also afford us unexpected exposure to the rich culture of Pays Dogon. Again Barri should be thanked for providing us with excellent transportation around Mali’s main towns and back roads. Moustafa Maiga was a great chauffer and the care he took for our comfort cannot go unmentioned. Without our excellent translator, Brahim Ouologuem, much would be lost. He translated, shared his personal stories and gave us an unembellished insight into the people, culture and agriculture of the Pays Dogon. His interest in the project and untiring capacity for answering our questions is much appreciated. As is his continued involvement in the project and our lives. Thanks to the many guides and campement owners who shared their knowledge and insights with us. Thank you lastly to the people of the Pays Dogon-their lives and culture have made a lasting impression on us, and how we conduct ourselves in the rest of our lives. We appreciate this opportunity to participate in this challenging and rewarding mission, and extend thanks to our home unit in Alaska and to the USFS International Program Office in Washington, DC. Pays Dogon Interpretive Journal & Signage Sept-Oct 2010 Mission Report 3 Executive Summary The overall objective of this USFS technical assistance mission is to improve the tourism experience in the Pays Dogon in an effort to both ensure sustainability of tourism in this area, as well as bring more dollars into the villages of the region. The products and recommendations will create a more authentic experience for the visitor, increase village revenue and preserve the culture and environment of the region. A team of three USFS technical experts worked closely with GSTA and Solimar personnel in- country for three weeks. The team met with elders and community members of a number of Pays Dogon villages to gather cultural, historical, and site specific information on the villages and people of the area. Information and experiences gleaned will be transformed into an interpretive sign for each village visited and a Journal that holds each village’s story and information pertinent to travelers to Dogon Country. Pays Dogon Interpretive Journal & Signage Sept-Oct 2010 Mission Report 4 Introduction & Scope of Technical Assistance Tourism development is one of the Malian government’s top priorities. In a country that has more than half of the population living below the poverty line, the government and people of Mali are looking for ways to diversify their economy and help raise the standard of living for individuals. The country has three World Heritage Sites and is seeking to increase visitation to these areas, while preserving the cultural and environmental surroundings. The USFS has provided previous support to the Pays Dogon GSTA activity by conducting training in visitors’ center development and management, visitor education, resource protection, and customer service in the Bandiagara Cercle. They have also worked directly with Mali’s Direction Nationale des Eaux et Fôrets (DNEF), providing technical support in the area of natural resources management planning. Additionally, USFS is contributing to sustainable ecotourism and improved local livelihood development in the Gourma Region of Mali. Based on prior USFS work in Mali and the Pays Dogon, our assistance was requested to help with the next phase of development and implementation for sustainable tourism in the Pays Dogon. Solimar International, one of the implementing partners of the Global Sustainable Tourism Alliance / Pays Dogon (GSTA/PD) program, is a tourism development consulting firm with the mission of helping businesses, travelers, and destinations develop and connect to sustainable tourism experiences that support environmental conservation, preserve cultural heritage, and enhance the lives of local residents. One of Solimar’s main focuses through the GSTA/PD program is utilizing tourism as a tool for linking biodiversity conservation and awareness to economic benefits for the Dogon people. This mission

Ce Bien Mixte du Pays dogon a été inscrit au double titre des critères V et VII relatif à l’inscription des biens: V pour la valeur culturelle et VII pour la valeur naturelle. La gestion du site est assurée par une structure déconcentrée de proximité créée en 1993, relevant de la Direction Nationale du Patrimoine Culturel (DNPC) du Département de la Culture. 1. Résumé analytique du rapport Le site « Falaises de Bandiagara » (Pays dogon) est soumis à une rude épreuve occasionnée par la crise sociopolitique et sécuritaire du Mali enclenchée depuis 2012. Cette crise a pris une ampleur particulière dans la Région de Mopti et sur ledit site marqué par des tensions et des conflits armés intercommunautaires entre les Dogons et les Peuls. Un des faits marquants de la crise au Pays dogon est l’attaque du village d’Ogossagou le 23 mars 2019, un village situé à environ 15 km de Bankass, qui a causé la mort de plus de 150 personnes et endommagé, voire détruit des biens mobiliers et immobiliers.
