1000+ Rescues | 500+ Released | 80+ Species
About us
The Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary serves as first and only multi-species rescue center for native animals in Liberia.
As an NGO we cooperate closely with the local Forestry Development Authority (FDA) and Wildlife Crime Task Force (WCTF), to provide critical veterinary care and rehabilitation for animals confiscated from the illegal pet trade or bushmeat market.
Our objective is to return every resident to their natural habitat, while providing permanent, high-quality care for those unable to survive in the wild.
Beyond direct rescue, we serve as a hub for environmental education and public awareness, actively combating wildlife trafficking and fostering a culture of conservation through volunteerism.
To date, we have provided sanctuary for over 1,000 animals and successfully released more than 500 back into protected forests.

Wildlife Conservation in Liberia
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.
ADOPT an Animal
Taking care of animals is expensive. Many animals means a lot of food, medical care, and space.
ADOPT will help us make ends meet, and allow you to be part of wildlife conservation in Liberia!

Not many people know what a pangolin is, but they should!
These shy, nocturnal mammals are found across Africa and Asia and their entire body is cloaked in protective keratin scales. They are the most trafficked animals in the world driving all eight species close to extinction! Learn more about Libassa's effort to help save these extraordinary creatures.
