SEC mission statement SEC’s mission is to promote and protect ecologically-sustainable, environmental justice in a participatory development that result in equality and equal opportunities with strong sense of ownerships for all. Our mission statement serves as the point of departure for our strategic plan, articulating our aspirations to protect the full range of Liberia biodiversity—fauna, flora and forest fringe communities—and acknowledging our roots as conservation organization..
Values statement
SEC believes in the inherent value of wildlife and the natural resources, regardless of whether species are recognized as protected or red list. We believe that we will better achieve our mission to conserve all native plants and animals in Liberia in their natural communities if we live by convictions that guide all aspects of our work. SEC’ values statement sets out expectations as to how employees will interact with each other, guides relationships with partners and supporters, and shapes interactions with those holding differing opinions and beliefs.
Our mission is to protect and restore Liberia’s environment by implementing innovative, community-driven initiatives. We are committed to addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainable practices that ensure the well-being of both our natural ecosystems and local communities. By fostering collaboration and raising awareness, we aim to create a healthier, more resilient environment for present and future generations.

CONSERVATION VISION
Diverse wildlife populations in Liberia are secure and thriving, sustained by a network of healthy lands and waters.
Ten years from now, what outcomes will indicate tangible progress toward our mission?
What does success look like for SEC? Our conservation vision succinctly describes the elements that define our success:
Diverse populations.
Our conservation efforts are targeted at the full range of vulnerable Liberia biodiversity from plants to pollinators to predators. We recognize that we cannot protect any species without simultaneously protecting the diversity of habitats and wildlife on which it relies.
Secure and thriving.
We are working for the day when vulnerable Liberia species rebound to the point that they are secure—no longer threatened with rapid decline or extinction—and thriving in robust, well-distributed populations.
Network of healthy lands and waters
Wildlife has the greatest chance of being secure and thriving if it is supported by a transnational network of public and private lands, rivers and coastal waters, core natural areas and working landscapes.
