ガンビアの天然記念物・トップ6

This stretch of beach features a mix of dark and light sand. With each wave that comes and goes, the sand changes again. Beautiful patterns emerge and disappear.

A wonderful place of peace. After driving through the hectic and noisy traffic of Serre Kunda, it is suddenly very quiet and the only sounds you can hear are the natural sounds of birds, monkeys and wind in clattering palm trees. A beautiful walk through the forest. Better still, come very early in the morning when the animals are more active and can be seen.

The Gunjur Conservationists and Ecotourism Association (CETAG) works to protect Gunjur’s natural resources and promote sustainability. Their Sea Turtle Conservation Program protects turtle nests along the beach, releasing hatchlings back into the sea. CETAG’s Turtle Village supports ecotourism and research while raising awareness. In addition to turtle conservation, CETAG runs projects such as “Trees for Schools” and “Trees for Communities,” which plant native and fertile trees to improve the local environment. Their Indigenous Nursery Project restores native species, and the Bolongfenyo Game Reserve protects biodiversity. The Golden Beam Project addresses coastal pollution and supports sustainable fishing by monitoring pollution and encouraging policy change. CETAG’s work relies on community involvement and volunteers to make a lasting impact on Gunjur’s environment.
