Two weeks ago our Toyota Land Cruiser was destroyed in an accident. That nobody died is the only good news in this update. The vehicle wasn't covered for full replacement, so this repair isn't something insurance is going to solve for us..

That truck was used to pick up confiscated pangolins, orphaned primates, injured raptors, and rescued crocodiles from checkpoints, to bring feed and medicine back from Monrovia, to reach our field sites and to transport wildlife for reintroductions into Sapo or Gola National Park.

Right now we don't have a vehicle. Our local partners are generous, lending us a vehicle when they can spare them, but that isn't something we can build a rescue operation around. We need to replace it with a vehicle built for Liberia's roads - one that can bring an animal from the bush to our clinic without falling apart on the way.

Replacing a Toyota Land Cruiser in Liberia costs approximately $50,000 including customs. That number is hard to write.. A cheaper or a used vehicle would cost less upfront, but it didn't work out well in the past (breakdowns on remote roads, parts we couldn't get, repairs that took weeks we didn't have..). Our work runs on wheels we no longer have.

If you can give something, it goes straight toward getting us back on the road. If you can't, sharing this costs nothing and helps just as much.

Please consider chipping in to our gofundme, any contribution helps >>> https://gofund.me/0248ca690

Today is Mangabey Awareness Day 🐒

At LiWiSa, the mangabey species we work with is the sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys), native to the coastal forests of West Africa. Like their cousins across the continent, the white-naped, black-crested, red-capped and golden-bellied mangabeys, they face the same pressures: habitat loss, hunting, and the illegal pet trade.

Most of our sooty mangabeys arrive as orphans, confiscated from the pet trade or rescued after their mothers were killed. Our team raises them and prepares them for life without human contact, working toward the day we can release them back into the forest. That release programme still needs funding and support to become a reality, and it’s a goal we’re determined to reach.

Conservation only works when we act together. Thank you to WAPCA for your support and partnership, and for giving mangabey conservation the global stage it deserves. We look forward to even closer collaboration in the years ahead!

Hey everyone, apologies for the absence — we haven’t posted in a while.

Running a sanctuary in Africa is a constant battle for funding to keep doing what we love. I was in Germany and Belgium meeting conservation partners at universities and zoos, working to keep this place running.. and sometimes you just need a break to recover, too😛

We’ve also set up a German partner NGO to make donations easier for our supporters in Europe, and we’ll soon be launching a donation system on our new website, thanks to Andrew!

We’re thrilled to share that the meetings went really well, and we’re looking forward to a strong second half of 2026, with even bigger projects on the way for next year.

Again, thank you to everyone following this journey with us. Raising awareness, material or financial donations, or any other services you provide are so important for a small sanctuary like ours. Just get in touch or follow links in our bio.

With love from Liberia - Finn

🇱🇷 Liberia’s climate gives us everything at once. Lush, green, alive year-round — and right on the coast. But that same climate is relentless: humidity near 90% and rains among the heaviest on Earth. Metal rusts, wood rots, equipment fails, roads flood.. Every enclosure, tool, and structure needs more maintenance, more often, and more investment than in any other places on Earth. Conservation in this environment is a constant battle against decay.
BUT, nowhere else on Earth can nature recover as quickly as it does here💚
