Horned Lizard Conservation Society

Our mission: Our mission is to study, document and publicize the value and conservation needs of horned lizards and to promote horned lizard conservation projects and assist with horned lizard management initiatives throughout their ranges.The Horned Lizard Conservation Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is the only organization in the world dedicated to protecting horned lizards.The HLCS originated through discussions in 1990 by citizens concerned about the decline of the horned lizards and became an officially formed organization in January 1991. The HLCS has a Board of Directors that oversee the general operation of this organization and has regional contacts.The HLCS offers grants for scientific research, education, and outreach events regarding information on conservation of horned lizards. In addition to offering research grants, some of the HLCS's other activities include: educational presentations at environmental and conservation events, organizing and leading horned lizard species surveys on both private (with permission) and public lands, rescue, recovery and reintroduction of displaced specimens and creation and distribution of educational materials. The HLCS is entirely volunteer-based and all officers as well as members volunteer their time and resources to protect these animals and educate the public regarding the value of horned lizard species.HLCS does not condone or support in any way horned lizard sales or having them as pets.If you would like to contribute to the efforts of the Horned Lizard Conservation Society, there are numerous ways to help.
