ACHIEVEMENTS SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 2021 & OBJECTIVES NOVEMBER 2021

Sara is a long-term friend of the LWC and one of our most generous donors. She has also assisted us anytime we need her. This month, she shares with us why she has been supporting the LWC for many years.

“Ever since I was a little girl, I have been passionate about animals. I grew up watching documentaries, wishing I could work with Dian Fossey or Jane Goodall, and generally in awe at wildlife in Africa. Now through adult eyes, and worried about my own children’s futures, I am even more aware of the irreversible damage that my generation is inflicting on the world. Humans continue to take more than we need, destroy critical natural habitats, poach and trade wildlife at staggering rates…. we're destroying our wildlife heritage.

LWC’s singular mission is to counter that loss, and it’s why I started supporting them almost four years ago. Day in and day out for 25 years, LWC has been rescuing and rehabilitating animals from the illegal wildlife trade, educating future conservation leaders, and implementing wide-scale green-employment projects in Cameroon to remove the underlying drivers of wildlife trafficking and deforestation for lasting change. LWC is a small, but mighty. They are a model for successful conservation and proof that a small group of passionate and relentless people CAN make a difference. I hope more and more people will learn about and support their life-saving work. “
