Protecting Sapo National Park

Since 1983, the Liberian government has envisaged the Sapo National Park to strengthen the focus of international communities on its virginity and biodiversity. The hope is that tribes, local governments, and communities surrounding the national park will help to preserve, safeguard, and celebrate the heritage. But that hasn't been the case. Instead, Encroachments and illegal exploitation of all forms of its natural resources are currently being carried out by poachers.

Now the national government is calling on the tribes, local governments, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and individual citizens to help in protecting the Park, preserving its heritage, and creating close to nature opportunities for people around the world to visit and cherry our beloved Liberia. We, a group of Liberians named "Conservation Effects for Sapo", are proud to join forces with state and local governments, nonprofit organizations, private citizens, communities surrounding the Park, and other partners to safeguard, recognize and promote our heritage.

Looking out and caring for the National Park and helping people around it take care of their communities is a job we love and need. We, CES, welcome your help and support.
