Following the recommendation made by the Bureau at its fourteenth session in June 1990, Unesco and IUCN representatives participated at several meetings organized by the Senegalese authorities in Dakar, to launch the comparative ecological and socio-economic study of the proposed route across this Park and the alternative route to the north outside the Park boundaries. This study is expected to cost US $ 38,000 of which US $ 20,000 has been requested from the World Heritage Fund in order to meet part of the expenses of consultants who will undertake this study. This request has been approved by the Chairman of the World Heritage Committee. IUCN would provide $ 10,000 and the World Bank $ 8,000. It is expected that this study will take place in September/October/November 1990 and that the results will be communicated to the Committee.
