Liberia Chimpanzee Rescue and Protection is dedicated to improving the lives of chimpanzees, both wild and rescued, through rehabilitation, protection and conservation. We are Liberia’s first and only sanctuary for all chimpanzees in need. LCRP’s Conservation Center operates as a one health hub, bringing together partners from diverse sectors to advance local, regional and international wildlife protection and conservation initiatives. LCRP is a formally registered NGO in both Liberia and the United States. Our sanctuary is dedicated to providing the highest standards of care and welfare for chimpanzees who are victims of the bushmeat and pet trades. We collaborate with local and international partners to develop long term strategies that combat the illegal trade of chimpanzees and other protected wildlife and develop innovative conservation education, awareness, protection and community development programs.
