Dry savanna habitat in the Sahel belt region Senegal, Western Africa #111338263
Description
The Sahel belt is a large region in Africa which borders the Sahara desert in its southern side and acts as an ecoclimatic and biogeographic zone of transition between the desert ecosystem to its north and the wetter savannas and tropical forests in Central Africa. Despite its aridity, it hosts an impressive wildlife. It is also home to many pastoral communities. Climate change and other anthropic impacts threaten this fragile ecological equilibrium.
