Location of Bassari Country in Senegal
The Bassari Country (French: Pays Bassari) and its Bassari, Fula and Bedik Cultural Landscapes (Paysages culturels Bassari, Peul et Bédik), located in the southeast of Senegal, is a well-preserved multicultural landscape which emerged from the interaction of human activities and the natural environment. It aggregates three geographical areas: the Bassari–Salémata area, the Bedik–Bandafassi area and the Fula–Dindéfello area, each one with its specific morphological characteristics.[1]
In 2012, the Bassari Country with its Bassari, Fula and Bedik Cultural Landscapes was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.[2]
