IUCN education in Sahel and West AfricaExtending the programmeThe experience with Walia has provided the know-how necessary toestablish environmental education programmes in other west Africancountries, each with different problems and priorities. In Mali, populationswhich once migrated according to the seasons and the availability ofresources tend to become sedentary. The environmental problems are relatedto deforestation, over-exploitation of the soil, over-use of pasture land,woodcutting and lack of water.Alam, the IUCN project for Niger, is implemented in a desert area. Droughtshave led to over-exploitation of pasture lands and intensive cutting offirewood. Uranium and coal mining have created new urban centres, and theParis-Dakar rally has stimulated tourism. There are changes in theorganization of society and in behaviour towards the environment; peoplemeet their immediate needs without thinking about the future of naturalresources.In Burkina Faso, the educational IUCN project ZOONI was part of a naturalresource management programme outside two national parks. The mainproblems lay in over-exploitation of wildlife, poaching, wood cutting and theuse of land for agriculture.Ekobol, the IUCN/CECI education programme for Senegal, is concerned notwith the Sahel, but with the sub-Guinean zone, where the mangrove forest iseither in the ultimate stage of deterioration or totally devastated with nopossibility of regeneration. The most crucial problem is lack of fresh water.Capacity to locally produce the IUCN bulletins in the West African -Sahelian countries has been developed through regional workshops.Photo : M.

School children in urban areas who are less aware of theuse of natural resources but confronted by urban problems are the principaltarget audience.Figure 3. Palmeirinha is a bulletin produced in Portuguese for the students inGuinea-Bissau. It is focused on developing awareness and action related tothe coastal wetlands.80
