I've put up a collection of Bambara tree and shrub names (with a sketchy intro in poor Bamanankan) at http://www.bisharat.net/Demos/jiriwso.htm . These are presented as rendered in the several sources consulted. This list is actually something I had done some years ago. I'd appreciate knowing about other sources (especially if they're not just republishing earlier data as many sources have tended to do).
Also of possible interest is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Bambara. This was previously available in the form of images of printed pages on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights site, but pursuant to the recent posting of that translation in text format at http://www.bisharat.net/Demos/UDoHR_BAM.htm, the original has also been changed (see http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/bra.htm). In my contact with those in charge of the web presentation, it has been indicated that they are actively interested in feedback on their translations and transcriptions from native speakers (and presumably other language experts). NB- there's also a Maninka translation at http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/mni.htm.
