The Liberian Geographical Society -LGS

Our mission is to develop the next generation of innovative geographers whose innovations will help to address the major unmet needs of our global community.

The Liberian Geographical Society (LGS) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization, dedicated to promoting and advancing geographical/environmental knowledge, research, and education across Liberia. The Liberian Geographical Society (LGS) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization dedicated to advancing geographic and environmental education across Liberia, creating a better future through

an understanding of the place of geography in global development to increase the number of geography majors and change the public’s view about the discipline of geography and its importance. As part of our activities, we organize events for geography, GIS, and environmental studies educators, connecting educators and linking them with valuable educational materials. We also organize events for students in high schools and universities, create awareness about the need to protect our environment, and work with community leaders and municipal authorities to spread the message of keeping our environment clean. We hope to put development on the map by helping advance this critical field of study, which both develops spatial reasoning skills necessary for knowledge economy careers and helps chart Liberia’s global future.

🌿 Celebrating World Forest Day with Eco-Interface 2.0! 🌳

The Liberian Geographical Society -LGS was proud to join -Interface 2.0 in Tubmanburg, Bomi County, to celebrate International Day of Forests (March 21, 2025) under the global theme "Forests and Food."

Forests are vital for food security, biodiversity, and climate resilience—and Liberia’s rich Upper Guinea Forest is a treasure we must protect. 🌍💚
