Senegalese association planting over a million trees a year with village planters since 2017
About
Nébéday is a Senegalese association based in Dakar that has promoted participatory management of natural resources since 2011, working with village forest committees, women's groups and schools. Its annual 'Reboisons le Sénégal' campaigns have planted more than 10.6 million trees since 2017 in Dakar, Thiès, Fatick, Saint-Louis and Ziguinchor regions, mixing mangrove propagules in the Saloum Delta with moringa, baobab and other local species in agroforestry plots, with every planting operation published on a public map. It also runs improved-cookstove, straw-charcoal, beekeeping and 'Camps Nature' environmental education programmes.
What they run
Annual planting campaigns since 2017 run with village planters, each operation geolocated and published; the 2026 campaign targeted 1.2 million trees.
Replants red and, increasingly, white and black mangrove species with fishing and marine-protected-area committees; hosts the national week of women's engagement for the mangrove.
Plants moringa, fruit and hedge trees in women's market gardens, where the women water and protect them and sell moringa leaf powder.
Environmental education camps and school tree nurseries for Senegalese pupils.
