The Liberia Animal Welfare & Conservation Society (LAWCS) is a registered Liberian-based organization that plays a vital role in biodiversity conservation in Liberia, with programs that promote wildlife protection, environmental stewardship and sustainable agriculture. Founded on a mission to protect animals and their habitats, LAWCS works in partnership with local communities and educational institutions, fostering a deep respect for biodiversity.
Through wildlife conservation initiatives, LAWCS actively protects species and habitats, particularly in regions like the Wonegizi Protected Area. LAWCS addresses challenges such as poaching and habitat loss by educating communities on the importance of preserving native wildlife and implementing humane education programs in schools. The programs not only teach young students about animal welfare but also instill values of compassion, responsibility and ecological respect.
