Baro, Guinea, 1st May 2015: Baro village is be above the proposed level of the Fomi Dam and will be receiving people displaced by the dam. The sacred forest of ancient “cheesemonger” trees, here before the village was founded. Ansoumane Conde, 58, has known about the importance of the forest since he was a child. “The sacred forest protects Baro Lake, an internationally famous fishing lake, and the village. In this forest we pray to the genie, make wishes which we pay for with leaves from another tree which we put between these trees’ roots. The actual prayers we say are secret”. Although no-one sweeps the forest, the smooth area in front of the trees (150501-403) is always clean.
