This project will help protect endangered forest elephants in Liberia by preventing poaching, restoring critical habitats, and mitigating human-elephant conflict. It will help secure the survival of elephant herds that play a vital role in sustaining forest ecosystems while also supporting the well-being and livelihoods of local communities.
Liberia is home to one of the last strongholds of West Africa's critically endangered forest elephants, yet their survival is increasingly threatened. Poaching for ivory, habitat loss from agricultural expansion, and traditional hunting practices put intense pressure on these populations. At the same time, shrinking habitats are driving more frequent human-elephant conflicts as communities and wildlife compete for space and resources.
This project will address poaching, habitat loss, limited conservation awareness, alternative livelihood development, and human-elephant conflict through practical, community-led action. We will train and equip rangers to strengthen patrols, deploy camera traps to monitor herds and detect threats early, and restore degraded forest areas to protect and reconnect feeding and migration routes. At the same time, we will expand conservation education to local communities and schools while supporting
This project will help conserve Liberia's forest elephants while maintaining balanced forest ecosystems, supporting ecotourism, creating local jobs, and reducing poverty-related threats. Healthier elephant populations will enhance forest regeneration and strengthen climate resilience as natural carbon sinks. By training 100 rangers to monitor forests and installing over 20 camera traps, the project ensures effective protection and accurate data collection.
