Business Wire
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded the Company a
$21 million single-award, five-year contract to improve
biodiversity conservation and strengthen sustainable and resilient
development in the Prey Lang region of Cambodia.
Situated across five million acres and four provinces in
north-central Cambodia, the Prey Lang region is one of Southeast
Asia’s last remaining lowland evergreen woodlands and home to
important water resources and biodiversity, including one of only
seven remaining elephant corridors in the world. The landscape is
under severe threats from deforestation, wildlife trafficking, and
the impacts of climate change.
Under the USAID Greening Prey Lang program, Tetra Tech will
provide technical support services using an integrated approach for
sustainable watershed management and biodiversity conservation to
foster economic growth. Tetra Tech will develop an evidence-based
decision support system that will combine geographic information
systems with trend analyses and local knowledge to assist in local
and national planning efforts to mitigate the threats from climate
stresses and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Tetra Tech also will
support the development of sustainable economic opportunities,
especially for women entrepreneurs and other marginalized
groups.
“Tetra Tech is pleased to support USAID’s work in Cambodia to
promote inclusive and sustainable management in one of the world’s
most biodiverse and important landscapes,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra
Tech’s Chairman and CEO. “For decades Tetra Tech has used its
Leading with Science® approaches to integrate the environmental,
social, and institutional elements needed for more resilient
ecosystems.”
