The Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary works closely with the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) who are the government body responsible for the forests of Liberia and together we have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that all wildlife that is confiscated or relinquished is sent to the sanctuary (apart from chimpanzees). The aim is to then care for, rehabilitate and release as many animals as possible back to the wild. Since the sanctuary opened in 2017 there have been 69 different species through the sanctuary and 622 animals have been confiscated/relinquished and 303 have been released back into the wild. The species released have included the endangered black-bellied and white-bellied pangolins, reptiles (crocodiles, snakes, monitor lizards, tortoises, terrapins, turtles and chameleons), antelopes (black-backed duiker & water chevrotain), civet, mongoose, otter, squirrel and many birds (doves, eagles, hawks, parrot, heron, kite, vulture and eagle) including the CITES 1 protected Liberian Timney parrot. The taxa that have not been re introduced into the wild are the non-human primates and this is because they need to be in social functioning groups before release. The sanctuary is currently home to 109 primates with an average of 2.5 per month entering per month (between February 2017 and March 2022).
