Marking a significant contribution to environmental conservation and ecosystem restoration, Alliance Finance Co PLC (AFC) and the Federation of Environmental Organizations (FEO) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on 21st August 2024. This collaborative effort is a significant step towards enhancing the vitality of our national park, which caused an extensive loss of habitat by invasive alien species(IAS).
In recognition of the importance of preserving the ecosystem at Galge National Park, the AFC has committed to conserving 15 hectares (37.5 acres) by removing and preventing the regrowth of invasive alien species (IAS) at the site. The project involves removing rapidly growing IAS that is significantly impacting elephants and other herbivores, and preserving grazing land while supporting the livelihoods of those who depend on FEO’s employment by hiring them for the removal of IAS.
