Wazo Hill quarry is located on the biodiversity rich areas. Mining activities in the quarry area disturbs habitats and leads to biodiversity loss. However, the mining company have been committed to sustainability thus restores mining areas after phasing out mining activities. Though restoration programs have been involving, to some extent scientists and local communities, passion and level of community’s participation have been low (Adégbidi et al., 2010). This tendency raises questions concerning local community’s awareness on the biodiversity due to the fact that community awareness and appreciation of the natural environment ultimately dictates success of biodiversity restoration activities (Adégbidi et al., 2010).  Understanding that biodiversity conservation is for the people and their livelihoods, this research wishes to assess the local communities’ awareness of biodiversity within and around Wazo Hill quarry. The results of this research can be used to design education and awareness raising programs for the local communities so as to increase level of participation and reduce unintentional disregard for wildlife and conservation.
