Katchikally: an attributed tradition and a stewardship boundary

ICCROM’s Gambian chapter records an oral tradition that connects Katchikally in Bakau with a named ancestral encounter and custodianship. This is an attributed account of tradition, not a verifiable date of origin or a license to state what the site means to every Bakau resident. ^{[iccrom-kachikally]}

The same text describes conservation pressures around a sacred natural place. Any public archive entry should therefore ask current custodians what may be recorded, translated, photographed or withheld, rather than treating a published description as blanket permission. ^{[iccrom-kachikally]}
