West African Conservation Network (WACN)
WACN is a not-for-profit organisation headquartered in the United Kingdom and Nigeria with a focus on adequately securing, restoring, and making wilderness areas self-sufficient in the long-term.
The concept and vision for West African Conservation Network was born by our founder, businessman Patrick Ogbonnia Egwu, who’s passion for wildlife emanates from childhood. As an organisation, our ambition is to collaborate with governments and turn-around the fortunes of depleted wilderness areas into restored wildlife hotspots over time.
Mission Statement
WACN’s mission is to secure, and restore depleted wilderness areas after having secured binding agreements with relevant government authorities whose jurisdiction the given wilderness area lies in. We restore by protecting the depleted wilderness area, and then reintroducing lost species with an aim to as much as possible, return the depleted wilderness area’s depleted biodiversity back to its original levels of intact biodiversity.
