Introduction
Nigeria is home to a diverse range of ecosystems, from rainforests and savannas to wetlands and mountains. These natural landscapes are protected within national parks, serving as sanctuaries for wildlife, water sources, and vital ecological processes. However, these protected areas are under increasing pressure from deforestation, poaching, illegal mining, and human encroachment. Without urgent action, we risk losing some of our most valuable natural heritage.
At Safe Nature and Humanity Club (SANHUC), we are committed to strengthening the conservation of Nigeria’s national parks by working with park authorities, communities, and conservation stakeholders. Our goal is to ensure that these areas remain protected for future generations.
National parks are more than just beautiful landscapes. They play a crucial role in:
✔ Biodiversity Conservation: These parks provide safe habitats for endangered species such as chimpanzees, elephants, and pangolins.
✔ Climate Regulation: Forests and wetlands within national parks absorb carbon dioxide, helping mitigate climate change.
✔ Water Security: Many rivers originate from protected areas, supplying clean water to communities.
✔ Tourism and Economic Growth: Ecotourism in national parks creates jobs and generates revenue for local communities.
✔ Scientific Research and Education: Parks serve as outdoor classrooms for scientists and students studying ecosystems and wildlife.
One of SANHUC’s major achievements has been our collaboration with the National Park Service, where we signed an MoU to enhance the capacity of rangers and improve park management across Nigeria. Through this partnership, we are equipping conservation officers with the tools and knowledge needed to safeguard protected areas effectively.

✔ Partner with us to expand conservation efforts and provide resources for park management.
Nigeria’s national parks are irreplaceable treasures that must be protected. They are home to incredible biodiversity, provide vital ecological services, and hold cultural significance. However, they face growing threats that require urgent intervention. At SANHUC, we are taking action to safeguard these protected areas, but we cannot do it alone.
