		One of the results of the "Ecoville-Ecovillage" conference (Dakar, January 1996) was a project involving UNESCO to help protect the socio-cultural identity and the biodiversity of the Yoff coastal community (region of Dakar, Senegal) and surrounding areas.
		As a test for the project's potential for success, a socio-cultural survey was conducted (with favourable results) in the Lebou language by a local youth association, APECSI, amongst nearly 1900 village people.
		The linkages between biodiversity and local Lebou traditions, legends, ceremonies and practices related to the sacred island of Yoff, are to be studied with a view to promoting the conservation of both cultural and biological diversity.

	Circling the Baobabs: Yesterday, I wished upon a baobab tree
		The Lebou are their own ethnic group but I think somehow they are related to the dominant Senegalese ethnic group, the Wolof, because they supposedly speak their own dialect of Wolof (the national language in Senegal with French as the official language).
		The boats are made out of two different kinds of wood (a fromagerie tree and another that I didn't catch the name) found in the Casamance (the southern region of Senegal).
		One of the aspects of this for the Lebou is their sacred baobab tree where spirits and perhaps even the ancestors live.

		It is probable that the Lebu (Lebou) of the Egyptians lived on the Mediterranean coast of Africa, between Egypt and the Gulf of Syrtes.
		As for the Libues, they were for Pindar (518-438 B.C.) natives of Cyrenaica, but later their name became among the ancients a name for all the indigenous peoples who lived in the littoral zone of North Africa, from Egypt as far as the Atlantic coast inclusive.
		However, it appears that the real Lebu (Lebou) survived in the tribe of the Liburakhae who lived, according to Ptolemy (2nd century A.D.), in the north of Marmarica, immediately to the east of Cyrenaica.

		It is our prayer that through relationships that we build, we may better share the Lord's salvation with the desperate Lebou people.
