Boé is an administrative region of the West African country of Guinea-Bissau, located in the eastern part of the country along the border with Guinea. The region is dominated by a savanna landscape with gentle undulations and a tropical grassland climate, with two distinct seasons, the dry season and the rainy season, throughout the year.
The Boe region is rich in biodiversity and is a habitat for rare primates such as chimpanzees. The region has a well-developed river network, with the Korubal River and its tributaries forming an important water resource system. The local economy is based on agriculture, with crops such as cashew nuts and rice grown, while livestock is also an important source of livelihood for the population.
Boé has a low population density, and most of its inhabitants are ethnic minorities such as Fulani and Manjako, who maintain a traditional village settlement pattern. Due to its remoteness, infrastructure is relatively weak, but has gradually improved in recent years in the areas of education and healthcare. The region retains a rich oral history and traditional cultural practices, which are of unique value for humanistic research.
