About us

The Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary is the first and only wildlife rescue center for different species of wildlife in Liberia and officially opened on May 6th 2017. It is an officially registered NGO and is a partnership between the Forestry Development Authority (FDA), the European Union, Humane Society International and the Tikki Hywood Foundation (Zimbabwe) with the following missions:


· Provide care and give support to confiscated wild animals kept as pets or destined to bushmeat;

· Release confiscated wild animals back into the wild whenever possible;

· Provide lifelong care for the animals that cannot be released;

· Protect sea turtles nesting grounds, guide the hatchlings back to the Atlantic Ocean;

· Encourage volunteer participation in nature work (protection, caretaking, release, etc…); 

· Raise awareness on illegal trafficking of wildlife in Liberia; 

· Educate people on Liberia’s wildlife.


So far, more than 488 animals have entered the sanctuary and 222 have been released back into the wild! Find out more about the work we do and how you can help!

Baby potto

Wild animals are being poached, sold or kept as a pet on a massive scale here in Liberia. But a new law was passed in 2016 to protect Liberia's wildlife. The animals that are being confiscated by authorities are brought to the sanctuary where they are given a second chance! Learn more about the work that we do by clicking the button below.

Rescued Campbell's monkey

Taking care of animals is very expensive. A lot of animals means buying a lot of food, not to mention the medical care they need or the enclosures they require. Virtually adopting an animal will help us make ends meet, and allow you to be part of wildlife conservation in Liberia!

Pangolin Conservation in Liberia

Pangolins. The world's most illegally trafficked mammal. They are also killed on a large scale for the illegal bushmeat trade across Africa. If we don't act now, we might lose these shy and gentle creatures forever... Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary, in collaboration with Tikki Hywood Foundation, is the only sanctuary in Liberia (and neighboring countries) to rescue and rehabilitate pangolins that are victims of the illegal trade. We cannot do this without your help and support. Please consider making a donation by clicking the button on top of this page. Any donation will go directly towards pangolin conservation.  Thank you!
