SENEGAL-ENVIRONMENT/ Harvesting and processing salt from Lake Retba (Pink Lake), Senegal
Nicolas Réméné / Le Pictorium
LePictorium_0333500.jpg
Amadou Tamboura, a 28-year-old Malian salt harvester at Lac Rose (Pink Lake), in the commune of Tivaouane Peulh-Niague, on March 14, 2026. Using a shovel, he breaks the salt crust that has formed at the bottom of the lake, then scoops the white gold from the water's depths into wicker baskets before transferring it to a dugout canoe—a grueling task in extremely difficult conditions. But his livelihood is now threatened because it is intimately linked to various climatic and environmental factors. Pollution, flooding, and wind are all constraints that directly impact the lake and salt production. The "Green City" project and the felling of the casuarina trees represent an additional fear for these salt workers, who have already lost a great deal in recent years due to Covid and especially the floods of late 2022, which made work almost impossible because of the significantly higher water level in the lake.

Four-wheel drive and quad biking in the dunes are among the tourist activities offered by agencies, tour operators, and local guides at Lac Rose (Pink Lake), which for a long time hosted the final stage of the Paris-Dakar Rally along its Atlantic Ocean beach. Many guides fear losing this tourist boon if the "Green City" project by the Egyptian group Casa Orascom were to be built. Pictured here at Lac Rose on March 13, 2026.

View of the historic casuarina tree line. Planted in the 1970s amidst a dune ridge, it separates the Atlantic Ocean from Lake Retba (Pink Lake), here on March 13, 2026, in the commune of Tivaouane Peulh, approximately 35 km from Dakar, Senegal.

Women sell handicrafts and souvenirs to passing tourists as they cross the dunes and casuarina groves near the village of Bonaba, where construction and urban development are also significant. Residents fear that the Casa Orascom "Green City" project will prevent tourists from accessing certain parts of the coastline, thus reducing their income.

Beneath the historic band of casuarina trees, located between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Retba (Pink Lake) in Senegal, on March 13, 2026. Planted in the 1960s and 70s, the casuarina trees play an important role in stabilizing dunes and shifting soils, combating coastal erosion, and filtering seawater, thus reducing the salinity of the soil and groundwater that feeds Lake Retba. They also serve as windbreaks for the work areas where salt is harvested and processed, and contribute to biodiversity.

Ibrahima Mbaye, known as Ibou, president of the Aar Lac Rose association ("protect the Pink Lake" in Wolof), is pictured here on March 13, 2026, in the casuarina forest located on the very site where the "Green City" project is planned. He is also filming videos for social media, denouncing the environmental risks posed by the project.
Ibrahima Mbaye was born in Niaga, a village bordering the Pink Lake. Opposed to the real estate project led by Orascom Development, he has been campaigning since 2019 against the overdevelopment of the site and advocating for a nature reserve and responsible tourism development.
He also denounces the risk of land grabbing, uncontrolled urbanization around the lake, and the exclusion of local communities.
