Senegal River Tributary Under Attack From Pollution
CCIJ members Jacques Ngor Sarr and David Dembélé published two stories, in both French and English, about the Falémé River, the main tributary of the Senegal River, that has been plagued by pollution that has wreaked havoc on the environment and riverside residents.

Pollution due to dredging, environmental degradation caused by gold mining, and fishing activities that led to the disappearance of marine resources: this list of damage to the Falémé – the main tributary of the Senegal River – is not exhaustive, writes David Dembéle.
