Business Wire
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded the
Company a $49 million single-award contract to promote
climate-resilient communities and protect biodiversity in West
Africa.
West African countries are particularly vulnerable to the
effects of urbanization, overfishing, and increased risk of floods
in coastal areas. The region’s inland forests are also threatened
by conversion to agricultural use and unsustainable land-use
practices.
Under the five-year West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change
project, Tetra Tech will collect and disseminate critical data
sets, increase the capacity of resource agencies to interpret data
for more informed decision making, and develop sustainable best
practices that can be shared across the region.
Tetra Tech will work with partners at the regional, national,
and community levels to strengthen policies that will improve
natural resource management and the health of marine ecosystems in
West Africa. “Tetra Tech is pleased to continue supporting USAID in
providing innovative solutions to address the impacts of climate
change around the world,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech’s Chairman
and CEO.
