Bassari Country

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 BassariSalémata area, the BedikBandafassi area and the FulaDindéfello area, each one with its specific morphological characteristics.

In 2012, the Bassari Country with its Bassari, Fula and Bedik Cultural Landscapes was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
