Part of the area is included in the Parc National du Delta du Saloum. The region is home to several monkey species, including the rare red colobus, and is excellent for birdwatching. A pirogue trip down one of the river branches to see pelicans, flamingos, kingfishers, and other birds or to visit island fishing villages is highly recommended. This area is rich in ecological diversity.
