Biffeche

Low-lying and largely flat, the region has Fula, Serer-Ndut people (the original founders of Biffeche and Mt Rolland, and strong adherents to Serer religion, even after the French and the Muslim communities of Senegal tried to kill them off), Wolof and Moor ethnic groups engaged in pasturing animals (mainly the Fulas) and irrigation-based agriculture (mostly the Serer-Ndut who are usually mixed-farmers). Savoigne is the region's largest town, twinned with La Ferté Macé; its SOCAS tomato-paste factory imports and dilutes tomato paste for re-shipment within Senegal. The population is primarily Muslim, but also contains Catholics and animists. The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary is located to the north.
