The Prophecy is an innovative example from Senegal on how art can be in the service of ecology. Inspired by the art photographer Fabrice Monteiro and the Senegalese stylist Doulsy, Ecofund, in collaboration with University of Dakar Professor Adams Tidjani (VIE), produces a series of surrealist photographs detailing the most representative sites of Senegal’s environmental destruction, such as the protected Iles de la Madeleine, accompanied by a scientific caption.
