hello!
South Africa - especially the Cape - have had a "working for water" program
since at least 2000 - much of the focus is on removing invasive woody
plants, esp. Acacias.

Hi PCA & APWG,
I thought you would all be interested in this story of a new water fund in
Cape Town, South Africa that has among its goals removing invasive plants
(that are draining the regions water resources & increasing fire frequency)
and to protect the region’s botanical diversity (3% of the world’s plant
life):

Thank you!
Cheers,
