Overview
Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile is a species of tropical flora for which the variety aegyptiaca is adapted to Sahelian climate. The species is among those chosen for the restoration of Sahelian ecosystems in the context of the pan-African reforestation project, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel Initiative (GGW). This study redefines the distribution range and its ecology and studies its uses in the Ferlo region in the north of Senegal using surveys carried out among the local population. The eco-geographical study shows that the species occupies several Sahel-Saharan regions of Africa and the Middle East. With broad ecological amplitude, it is very resistant to drought and relatively indifferent to the type of soil. Results of the ethno-botanical survey show that local people in the Ferlo region have a wealth of knowledge and expertise on B. aegyptiaca. These surveys also revealed the extent to which local populations rely on the tree for food, fodder, construction and medicine. The fruit and wood are the most highly prized parts of the tree, with the greatest use of the fruit in people's diets. In medicinal terms, B. aegyptiaca is used to treat several affections. Marketing the fruits could be of socioeconomic interest for local people, and in particular, for women. This study is particularly opportune since B. aegyptiaca var. aegyptiaca is currently being planted in large numbers within the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative (GGW). It also provides information that could help in better management of this natural resource, adapted both to the hostile Sahelian climate and of great use to Mankind. Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile : distribution géographique et connaissances ethnobotaniques des populations locales du Ferlo (nord Sénégal). Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile est une espèce de la flore tropicale dont la variété aegyptiaca est adaptée aux climats sahéliens. Elle figure parmi les essences choisies pour la restauration des écosystèmes sahéliens dans le contexte du projet de reforestation panafricaine de la Grande Muraille Verte (GMV). Cette étude redéfinit les aires de répartition et son écologie et étudie ses usages dans la zone du Ferlo au nord Sénégal à travers des enquêtes menées auprès des populations. L'étude éco-géographique montre que l'espèce occupe plusieurs régions sahélo-sahariennes d'Afrique et du Moyen Orient. De large amplitude écologique, elle est très résistante à la sècheresse et relativement indifférente au type de sol. Les résultats de l'enquête ethnobotanique montrent que les populations du Ferlo disposent d'un ensemble de connaissances et de savoir-faire concernant B. aegyptiaca. Ces enquêtes ont mis en évidence une grande utilisation de l'arbre par les populations locales à des fins alimentaires, fourragères et pour la construction. Le fruit et le bois sont les parties les plus prisées de l'arbre. Sur le plan médicinal, B. aegyptiaca est utilisée pour soigner plusieurs affections. La commercialisation des fruits pourrait présenter un intérêt socio-économique pour les populations, notamment pour les femmes. Cette étude est particulièrement opportune puisque B. aegyptiaca var. aegyptiaca est actuellement plantée massivement au sein de la Grande Muraille Verte (GMV). Elle fournit des informations qui pourraient participer à une meilleure gestion de cette ressource naturelle, à la fois adaptée au climat hostile sahélien tout en étant d'une grande utilité pour l'Homme.
