Presentation of the Project "Inventory and Management Modeling of the Permanent Vegetation in a Forest Zone in Southern Senegal". Belgium has a long tradition in the field of agricultural and floristic research in humid tropical Africa. The studies that were once done in Congo and there after in Zaire can still be considered to be milestones. Recently, the introduction of new techniques like teledetection and Geographie Information systems software has created new possibilities for those researchers that want give their basic research effort some added value in the form of policy guidelines. This text presents''the work that is currently been done by the Laboratory of Tropical and Subtropical Plant Husbandry and Ethnobotany (University of Gent, Belgium) in the Moyenne Casajsnance Province (southern Senegal) on the evolution and management possibilities of its natural vegetation.
