Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary, Wildlife sanctuary in Marshall, Liberia
Libassa Wildlife Sanctuary is a zoological park in Marshall that spans across tropical forest areas where a lagoon connects to the Atlantic Ocean. The site provides natural habitats for numerous animal species within these coastal ecosystems.
The facility was founded in 2017 and became the first wildlife rescue center in Liberia. It was established through partnership with the country's forestry development authority.
The sanctuary employs local community members and conducts educational programs to increase awareness about wildlife protection and forest conservation.
The location is easily accessible from the capital and offers visitors straightforward access to its forests and lagoon. Plan time to explore the different areas and view the animal enclosures at your own pace.
The center has received hundreds of animals and successfully returned many of them to their natural habitats. This rehabilitation work demonstrates the facility's practical focus on real conservation efforts.

Liberia sits on the West African coast, a country of dense rainforests, old mountains, and places that tell the story of its particular past. Visitors find national parks like Sapo and Gola, where chimpanzees and rare birds live in forests largely untouched by roads. Mount Wuteve and the Nimba Mountains offer walks through green landscapes, while waterfalls like Kpatawee drop into the forest shade. Along the coast, beaches like Ce Ce Beach and the surfer town of Robertsport with its old Cape Mount Lighthouse draw people looking for waves and quiet. Lakes such as Lake Piso and Blue Lake show the country's calmer side. In the capital Monrovia, Providence Island and the National Museum recall the founding of Liberia by freed slaves from America. The crumbling Ducor Hotel rises above the city, a reminder of boom and decline. Religious buildings like the Sacred Heart Cathedral and the Central Mosque of Matadi reflect the mix of faiths in the country. Markets like Waterside buzz with trade and conversation, while art studios like Nyamee show local creativity at work.
