~ About the HLCS ~
The Horned Lizard Conservation Society (HLCS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is the only organization in the world dedicated to protecting horned lizards.
In late 1990, citizens concerned about the decline of the horned lizard from various states met in Texas and discussed creating an organization that would help to conserve the horned lizard. The HLCS 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 Society'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 and conservation of horned lizard species.
The 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. Check out the "How you can help" tab. Our donation button is on our online store or you can post mail a check to our post mailing address.
