LEKKI CONSERVATION CENTER (LCC)
The Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC) was established in 1990 by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) to serve as a biodiversity conservation icon and environment education center. The field of environmental conservation focuses on the management of the biosphere to sustain the benefits for present and future generations.
The LCC has grown into one of Africa’s prominent and most-diverse urban Nature Parks due to its high species richness and activities. The LCC occupies the number one spot of places to visit in Lagos as a tourist on Trip Advisor with 4 stars and over 500 reviews.
The reserve is home to a library and a variety of wildlife, including monkeys, tortoises, and rare birds. Raised walkways enable the viewing of animals like monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, and various birds. The LCC wetlands have a figure-of-eight system of footpaths, with hiking trails and steppingstones to cross waterways.
