Niumi's mangrove and livelihood mosaic

UNESCO describes Niumi along the north bank adjoining Senegal's Delta de Saloum, with mangroves, woodlands, savanna and marine habitats. The reserve includes the Kunta Kinteh heritage landscape, linking ecological and historical stewardship. ^{[unesco-niumi]}

Farming and fisheries are named as livelihoods, not as a timeless or exclusive description of all residents. The 2024 biosphere designation acknowledges that a protected landscape also contains working communities. ^{[unesco-niumi]}
