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.
