Summary

Successful management of shared resources in the Saloum Delta, Senegal, demonstrates resilience against climate change through collaborative governance. This doctoral research reveals that community-led and mixed-stakeholder organizations—combining local actors, government, and NGOs—facilitate sustainable conservation of fisheries and forestry via negotiated social transactions. The 'connexity socio-institutionnelle' framework, an adaptive strategy rooted in the Niominka community’s history, enables collective action to mitigate climate vulnerabilities while sustaining biodiversity-rich delta ecosystems. Qualitative ethnographic methods, including documentary reviews, observations, and interviews, uncovered diverse discursive and factual materials, analyzed through dimensions of organization, interaction, intentionality, historicity, space, and prospective adaptation. The study underscores the critical role of inter/transdisciplinary approaches in environmental sciences to bridge psychosociological insights with ecological realities.
