The Greenfingers Wildlife Conservation Initiative is a specialized sanctuary and NGO in Lagos dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of endangered wildlife. Founded in 2012 by Chinedu Mogbo, the center serves as a safe haven for over 50 animal species, many of which have been rescued from illegal wildlife trafficking and local bushmeat markets.
Why You Should Visit
A visit to Green Fingers offers a rare, intimate connection with nature that is hard to find in the bustling city of Lagos. This place provides a hands-on educational experience where you can learn the specific rescue stories of individual animals, such as Bella, the famous "tour assistant" goat who behaves like a dog. It is a breathtaking "dreamscape garden" filled with lush foliage and recycled art, offering a peaceful environment to see endangered animals like the pangolin—the world's most trafficked mammal—up close while directly supporting their rehabilitation and eventual return to the wild.
