Le delta du Saloum au Sénégal est un écosystème tropical de mangrove, riche en biodiversité, qui fournit des moyens de subsistance à plus de 100 000 habitants. Il est formé de grandes surfaces d'eau, de mangroves, de végétation d'eau salée et de forêts. Le delta offre de multiples services aux communautés locales ainsi qu'un riche habitat pour les espèces. Depuis 2011, une partie du delta a été désignée comme site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.

As part of the effort to advance our understanding of the real costs and benefits of hydropower, IISD, in collaboration with the MAVA Foundation, undertook a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) for two hydropower projects that are currently planned along the Vjosa River in Albania. The objective of the study was to investigate and calculate the value of environmental, social, and economic externalities caused by these two projects and analyze how these would affect their net economic value overall.
