Senegal, #Africa's westernmost country and a former colonial trading post, is counting on ecotourism and its biodiversity jewels to attract foreign visitors to help develop its economy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With a population of roughly 17 million, the French-speaking nation borders Mauritania, Mali, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.

#Tourism - along with mining, construction and fishing - is a vital part of this West African country that boasts several national parks, @UNESCO World Heritage sites, tranquil sandy beaches, camping locations and bird-watching hotspots.

Join me as I visit Senegal’s ecological treasures: the Bandia #wildlife reserve, home to many of Africa's big animals, and the Sine-Saloum Delta which is one of nine sites in the country designated as Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Sites).

本期新华社 视频，随我们一起走进拥有1,700万人口的塞内加尔共和国（Senegal），位于非洲最西端的国家，海岸线长约700公里，首都位于达喀尔。疫情之后，这里的旅游业逐渐复苏。美丽的萨卢姆河三角区、班迪亚野生动物保护区和各式各样的岛屿和湿地等待着游客们前来探索。
